As an Arsenal fan. I cant just wait to see the Spurs fall back into the deep well. With Harry out, dat's jst the beginning. Pls Moyes refuse to be dragged into dat deep well wit those Spuds.
SportsRe: Why Can't We Have Decent Stadiums In Nigeria? by plantation(m): 8:29am On Jun 13, 2012
Wereh kpe: 9jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Y do we always criticie our things?

I have been to Old Trafford, San Siro, Anfield, Emirates, Reebok stadium and many stadiums in 9ja and belief me, Abuja stadium is a great stadium and it ranks with other great stadiums in the world!

Anyway here are my ratings of stadiums i have visited in 9ja
1. Abuja ( 5 star) @ 60, 000 capacity and all covered with good access roads.
2. Lagos ( 3 star) @ 45, 000 capacity semi covered ONLY VIP ooo
3. Liberty Stadium (3 star) capacity 25,000 semi covered
4. Teslim Balogun Stadium ( 3 star)
5. Liberation Stadium, Port Harcourt (2 star)
6. Dan Anyiam, Imo ( 2 star)
7. Sani Abachi Stadium (2 star)
8. UJ Useine Stadium (2 star)
9 Adamasingba Ibadan ( 2 star)
11. MKO Abeokuta (2 star)
10.Warri Township stadium (1 star) covered with pillars blocking the view of spectators but great turf
11. Enyimba International stadium (2 star)
12. Olubadan stadium ( NO STAR)
13. Unilag Students stadium( Sorry oooo MALO lag stadium) - ( - 10 stars) LOL

BY the way d turf at abuja was mind blowing and similar to that @ Old Trafford. I fit swear with Amadioha on this one! but belief it or not Warri has a better turf!WORD

Abuja remains the ONLY all covered stadium in Nigeria and the largest at 60,000 with space for increase! The Polish National Stadium is also 60,000 and apart from Wembley, Old Trafford and the Emirates in England, no other stadium is bigger than 60,000! So kini big deal?
Anyway, i didn't hear u talk abt the pitches and audiovisual facilities, just the capacity and roofing. Am glad u also mentioned my home stadium Enyimba Int. Stadium lol. Seriously, i was at the Emirates and Reebok a year ago and i can say dat apart frm the capacity, ours is just a sorry sight
SportsRe: Why Can't We Have Decent Stadiums In Nigeria? by plantation(m): 8:14am On Jun 13, 2012
miky: most of the money spent on these stadiums would be recouped through tickets from euro games, and that of their league games.. imagine naija spending hundreds of millions to build stadiums only for people to stay at home and watch chelsea matches instead of local leagues grin.. or even worse people dont even want to pay to get in, nothing is free bro!!
whether ppl stay at home or not, all we're saying is dat the $360m could hav been used to put up a world class stadium if not for the corruption in the system. And talking abt watching Nigerian league matches, i believe nigerians are football loving ppl. If the NFL and NFF put their ass together, repackage our league and giv us somtin we'll all feel excited watching as a football league, why wont nigerians go to they stadia to watch. I cant imagine myself having to spend my time going to watch a game that we already know the home team wil win either by hook or by crook. I watched all Enyimba home games in 2003/04 season, then it was a pleasure to watch. Rather than improving, the standards hav detoriated. Finally, England hav WEMBLEY, apart frm the cup finals, how many times do they hav to solely depend on match tickets inorder to keep it world class? Nomatter wat, i think we deserve at least a world class National Stadium. Even if not for league matches, at least for international games.
SportsRe: Why Can't We Have Decent Stadiums In Nigeria? by plantation(m): 5:24am On Jun 13, 2012
mens dept: Actually the poster seems to be more patriotic than you. Nigeria is not good enough for anyone frankly, particularly those who's lives were wasted recently....

I'm glad he is asking a fair question, which is why we cant have decent stadia in the country with all our wealth and football hype. Even the jerseys our national team wear isnt marketable, and frankly looks like a mere training kit. All the Euro jerseys, the US, Mexico, Cameroon, and a host of others have baddazz kits, except us. (Also goes for their airports)

Now of course there are more important things than jerseys and stadia, like our general complacency, childishness, and cowardice, which allows for corrupt leaders to exploit us, but as far as this topic, its a valid question.

Imagine, Abuja Stadium goes for $350 Million and no retractable roof, Haba, who is choppin our money? WHat ever happened to Sanni Lulu and Uchegbuulam and the rest who I thought EFFC arrested for corruption?

Dayum, lets stop having low standards for our country.

ANyway, whats up with that stadium they are building in Akwa Ibom?
I guess dis is the most sensible post i've read so far. Even when we all thought the Abuja stadium was at its best, yet it was no were near the 1st 100stadia in the world in terms of exhilarating ultra modern facilities. We started building dat stadium at a time when korea/japan had already set out a standard on wat a modern stadium should look like, yet Abuja stadium got nowhere around even the worst of the world cup hosting stadia in those countries. Seeing some earlier posters attack the OP's honest and sincere question shows how we as Nigerians have basically accepted Mediocrity as part of our DNA. Oh, anyone ever seen the pitch of our highly coveted abuja stadium lately? For Mohammed Sake, why should we ever cast another glimpse at that stadium, after watching wat South Africa had on ground dat even stunned the world?
SportsRe: Why Can't We Have Decent Stadiums In Nigeria? by plantation(m): 5:05am On Jun 13, 2012
werepeLeri: Daft thread. What is your definition of decent? So when FIFA brings World Cup hosting to Nigeria - why u no shout say we no get decent stadia? Mtcheewww. Whats your definition of world class.
It's obvious u're the contractor that built all those scrab of a stadium in Nigeria.

PoliticsRe: India Must Go by plantation(m): 12:40pm On Jun 06, 2012
Koolking: Last I checked, foreigners who own businesses in Nigeria don't exploit Nigerians, but Nigerians in the helm of affairs of these companies exploit fellow Nigerians and give the foreigners the impetus to treat Nigerians as 'menstrual pads'. Selfishness and 'oga takes it all' syndrome by privileged Nigerians is the bane of our growth.

This topic is insipid and reek of hate.
u jst spoke my mind. Does the OP think there're more indians in Nigeria than we have nigerians in their country? That'll really be an uninformed thought.

If i recapture dat image of my mother having to hawk african salad all around the village in tatard clothes in those days just to see her only child thru school. And which by God's grace her dreams has finally come thru. Then i jst will forever giv a very biased judgement regarding any form of insult on her from anybody, including my wife. I would always intimate my wife on what the outcome of rendering any form of insult on my mom would be. And if for whatsoever reason she goes ahead to insult her at any time, SHE WILL BE A PITIABLE GONER. *period*

RomanceRe: How Will She Feel If She Realises My Real Identity After 10years by plantation(op): 6:22pm On Jun 02, 2012
Mehn, i finally opened up to her after a very long hesitation, luck was really on my side cos she was a lil tipsy dat nite. I thought she heard all i told her cos she found it hard to believe but only managed to mutter som words like "ok, no probs, i luv u and not ur name." I was over-joyed and clubbed like never b4. Was jst surprised wen earlier dis morning i brought out my file and showed her my degree and call to bar certificates and a whole lot of other document bearing my real name, she gave a very stern look apparently expressing surprise at wat i was showing her. She asked "wat's all dis wit a different name on ur certificates and why're u showing dem to me?" I told her it was in furtherance to what i told her last nite. She asked wat it was i told her last nite cos she doesn't remember my telling her anytin abt my certificate. At that point it became obvious to me dat she was actually too tipsy to hav understood any bit of wat i told her last nite. To shorten the whole long story, i recounted my story to her again... Knelt down as soon as i realised she was now battling tears. In short, she feels disappointed in me right now and has asked me to give her a break. But am very convinced dat break isn't gonna last for long b4 we're back together again. That's how it all went down yesternite and dis morning o! No acid bath as @ITbomb had anticipated. And toh badt cos even get ATM.. Lolz

ITbomb: That was your payday and you missed it. when she say that you could have answer and say that you are the deceitful fellow {on your knees}. and if she is listening explain in 60 sec why you did it, then leave her to her thoughts, dont overload her with explanations.
But be that as it may, instead of just breaking up for no reason ( that would be cowardly of you), take the risk, when next you are together, tell her " honey, you remember the story i told you last blah blah, i am the deceitful fellow, and I'm asking for forgiveness......
If she still prefer to breakup, then better. Goodluck Best of Luck
Ok, we're planning to hang out together at the club tomoro nite, coincidentally it happens to be our friendship anniversary (as we call it) and we shifted the celebration frm last week due to her very busy schedule to tomoro. Just wondering if dat'll be the right atmosphere to reveal it to her the way u've said. Pls tell me.

Then tell her you are the OP.
But if you are a regular poster in Sexuality Board or friend with born2fuck, then don't try it
i guess i already did somtin like dat a couple of days back, told her i read a story like dis but wit varying dates, professions and other things that might arouse her suspicion in a magazine. As for her feelings, i jst remember her reiterating the 'Men are wicked thing.' when i asked her wat she could hav done if she were in the girl's shoes, she emphasised how 10yrs isn't 10days and how she can never get married to such deceitful fellow. Seriously, dat really gave me no incentive for confession. I guess my options has finaly been trimmed down to jst Break up. Stil looking for dat 'Devil's heart' to be able to do it. If the options are not exhausted yet, u stil tell me.

Duke_Nija: @OP
I'm sorry to start this way, but you are a F.O.O.L. I sincerely understand the initial fake identity which led to your securing a Job. What i choose not to understand, despite your justifications, is how you failed to tell someone you claimed to love,(who could be the closest person in the world to you) your real nameshocked. Any explanation would have been understood since she was 'in Love' with you.
I have no advice for you. I hope she finds out herself. angry

as a practising lawyer you should know that you can go to a court to legally change your name so that the story will forever match the name.


Which kind of a guy are you anyway? you kept up a lie for 10 years? and she never met your family or friend or you never ran into someone who knows you by your real name or you never slipped up?
i am not ignorant of the change of name procedure. It's belated now. Wud hav been perfect timing some years back.
RomanceRe: How Will She Feel If She Realises My Real Identity After 10years by plantation(op): 6:21pm On May 30, 2012
durobraham: marry her first and then tell her. Evidence of spouses is protected by the Evidence Act if i remember correctly so she cant easily use your confession against u. Dont confess any criminal act to sum1 who doesnt have evidentiary priviledge. which kind lawyer uu be sef?

(nb- this is legal advice which in no way reflects how i personally feel about the matter. Before this Nlanders would turn on me)
i jst dont understand it wen u ask which kind lawyer i be sef? Forget those provisions in the evidence act 1st. How can i marry her without the whole pseudo name saga being unravelled? Is it possible dat my kinsmen wil go to see her kinsmen without the entire name deceit being blown open? Talking about husband and wife evidential privileges, the evidence act in section161 clearly says a husband and wife and not a would-be spouse. The case of RvsDaniel Ajiyola clearly buttresses dat. Anyway, if there's a way we can get married under such fake name pls let me know. I guess I wouldn't hav sought anybody's advise if i knew there is. U tel me how it'll be done pls.
