Hello FBS nothing do the ref abeg,he's doing a very good job ,Hi Nateevs,Hey Diva hope your're all having fun

Go Wigan

Ipsi:
Depending on what you want I have white filling sand and plaster sand.

Thanks man but I don't need the above,just topsoil; humus or loamey,suitable for gardening

Yesterday when I started getting the text messages,I just laughed at the gullible people that fell for that prank,could you believe some people were so into it that my own wife who lives in the same home with me actually forwarded it to me  ,well for all I care,the rumour must have originated from the marketing department of one of the telcos,do you know how many smss were sent yesterday pertaining to this false story about apples,I'm sure the marketing guys have got their pay raise at the expense of their gullible subscribers

Anyway,to re-inforce my conviction that it was all false,as soon as I got back home yesterday,I went straight to the fruit bowl,got me a fresh apple and munched away,my wife was confused 

Ha, I never know that such an interested thread existing

[size=14pt]Not qualifying the nation for the world cup is actually not a criminal offence,however in view of the massive dissappointment and heartbreak they've caused,my suggestions are as follows;

1)The NFF,as presently constituted,should just forget about renewing/extending their tenure so that other administrators with fresher ideas in football administration will contribute their own quota

2)The present super eagles team should be disbanded and we should begin to build a new team of players plying their trade in both domestic and foreign leagues.The three factors to consider should be form,fitness and passion for national assignment

3)Amodu and his entire coaching crew should be sacked and a competent coach should be engaged to prepare our team for Brazil  2014,he could be a Nigerian or non-Nigerian,but it should be keenly contested and the most qualified hand should be hired[/size]

ASUU Strike: Oshiomhole Meets Egwu


Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has intervened in the ongoing crises between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), with an assurance that intensive efforts were being made to urge the warring parties back to the negotiation table.
From all indications, intervention of Oshiomhole, who is former President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) was as a result of his Monday meeting with President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, who sought his assistance towards resolution of the strike.
Speaking with newsmen after a closed door meeting with the Minister of Education, Dr. Sam Egwu, in Abuja, yesterday, Oshiomhole said he, even though he enjoys a great relationship with the striking Union, cannot simply ask them to call off the strike and return to work, because there were issues that have to be resolved after negotiations have been resumed.
The President, he said, means well, but ASUU also has reasons for their action, which is to make universities what they are supposed to be.
“This is a disagreement between patriots. The key issue now is to resume negotiations as ASUU is willing to talk.
The Minister has also assured me that the Federal Government is ready to resume talk with ASUU," he said, adding that "we must talk sensibly, be honest in what we say, and be committed to honouring whatever we agree on, the negotiations should not be carried out on the pages of newspapers."
Egwu said he had very meaningful discussions with Oshiomhole, adding that the meeting was due to the fact that the Federal Government is worried at the continued closure of Nigerian universities.
Egwu said government cannot grant ASUU 109 per cent increase it is demanding, because revenue for such expenditure was not available, adding that other sectors of the economy would be affected.He called on ASUU to resume negotiations with government who is ready to continue dialogue with it immediately, noting that the issues cannot be resolved in just one sitting or in a little period, because many of the issues have been contentious over a long period of time.“If government offers 109per cent to ASUU, I would be happy, as it is my constituency.

But the government has to consider the revenue inflow and offer what it can afford. Government is ready to continue negotiations with ASUU even if it is tomorrow, as we are not happy that students are at home,” Egwu said.He noted that government is ready to shift its stance to accommodate ASUU, if it is willing to do the same, so that the two parties can reach a compromise.In another development, Minister of Labour and Productivity, Prince Adetokunbo Kayode, has berated ASUU for its incessant strike actions, especially in the last 10 years, which has seriously distorted the academic calendarFielding questions from newsmen after presentation of a draft, National Employment Action Plan to the National Council on Employment in Abuja yesterday, Kayode said most of the efforts that should be channelled into job creation in the nations, are being dissipated on handling and settling of industrial disputes.

Please where can I get large quantities of topsoil,up to 20,000 cubic metres in all but for starters,I'll be needing 18 cubic metres.

Indonesian woman gives birth to 8.7 kilo baby boy

[img][/img]

An Indonesian woman has given birth to an 8.7-kilogramme (19.2-pound) baby boy, the heaviest newborn ever recorded in the country, a doctor said Wednesday.

The baby is 62 centimetres long and was born by caesarean section.The baby, who is still unnamed and is 62 centimetres (24.4 inches) long, was born by caesarean section Monday at a public hospital in North Sumatra province, a gynaecologist who took part in the operation told AFP.

"This heavy baby made the surgery really tough, especially the process of taking him out of his mum's womb. His legs were so big," Binsar Sitanggang said.

The boy is in a healthy condition despite having to initially be given oxygen to overcome breathing problems, the gynaecologist said.

"He's got strong appetite, every minute, it's almost non-stop feeding," he said.

"This baby boy is extraordinary, the way he's crying is not like a usual baby. It's really loud."

The boy's massive size was likely the result of his mother, Ani, 41, having diabetes, Sitanggang said.

She had to be rushed to hospital due to complications with the pregnancy, which had reached nine months. The baby, her fourth, was the only child not delivered by a traditional midwife.

When a diabetic mother's glucose level is high during pregnancy, the baby can receive too much glucose and grow too large, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.

Indonesia's previous heaviest baby, weighing in at 6.9 kilos, was born in 2007 on the outskirts of the capital Jakarta, according to the Indonesian Museum of Records website.

[size=14pt]ASUU Strike: Yar’Adua Seeks Oshiomhole’s Intervention[/size]


[b]President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua has sought the intervention of Edo State Governor Adams Oshimohole to help in resolving the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), which had put university students at home since June.
Negotiations between the Federal Government and ASUU had broken down following Federal Government’s insistence that it could not sign any agreement that would be binding on state governors.
Oshiomhole is the immediate past president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).
THISDAY learnt that President Yar’Adua met with the Edo State governor last Monday afternoon in Abuja and they discussed all the issues with regards to ASUU strike and the possible way of resolving the matter.
The President was also said to have invited the Minister of Education, Dr. Sam Egwu, to work with Oshiomhole towards resolving the matter this week.
When contacted, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Olusegun Adeniyi, confirmed that Oshiomhole was assisting the Federal Government on the issue.
He said: “Yes, I can confirm that Oshiomhole has the mandate of the President to negotiate with ASUU so that this issue can be resolved so quickly but he is working in collaboration with the Education Minister, Dr. Sam Egwu.
“The President recognises that in Labour matters, the Governor of Edo State comes with experience and expertise and is highly respected. That was why the President sought his intervention on this matter together with Dr. Egwu.
“I’m hopeful that there will be positive developments very soon so that the students can go back to school.”
The Chief Gemaliel Onosode-led Federal Government/ASUU Re-Negotiation Committee was appointed by former Minister of Education, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili, in 2006.
It concluded its work in December last year and came up with a provisional draft agreement.
The conclusion of the re-negotiation coincided with the change of baton at the Education ministry.
ASUU met the new Minister of Education, Dr. Egwu, in January this year and called for the signing of the agreement.
The union gave notice of a warning strike in May to press for the signing of the agreement and later went on a one-week warning strike, which ended on May 31. ASUU also warned that it would go on a total and indefinite strike if the agreement was not signed. The minister invited the union to a meeting on June 19 but ASUU had already resolved to go on strike and this began on June 22.
Since then, interventions by both the House of Representatives and Senate Committees on Education, Vice-Chancellors and Pro-Chancellors have been fruitless.
The single term of reference of the Onosode Committee was to re-negotiate the 2001 FGN/ASUU Agreement, which sought to reverse the decay in the university system, reverse the brain drain, not only by enhancing the remunerations of academic staff but also by disengaging them from the encumbrances of a unified civil service wage structure; restore Nigeria universities, through immediate, massive and sustained financial intervention; and to ensure genuine university autonomy and academic freedom.
The 2001 agreement was the product of the 1992 agreement reached between the Federal Government when Prof. Babs Fafunwa was the Minister of Education under military President Ibrahim Babangida and ASUU.
The same Babangida with Prof. Ben Nwabueze as Education minister abrogated that agreement in January 1993 and the FG/ASUU crisis has been on ever since.
President Yar'Adua's argument is that in a democracy, the Federal Government cannot sign an agreement that is binding on state governments.
ASUU, however, says the process that started more than two years ago must be concluded.
The government also says re-negotiating with ASUU when the union is on strike amounts to arm-twisting and has therefore called for at least a suspension of the strike.
But ASUU says it will only call off the strike after the signing of the agreement.
ASUU had demanded that it be paid the same wages as university academic staff in South Africa.
But the Federal Government said it would pay what was referred to as “Africa Average”which meant looking at the wages in various rich and poor countries in Africa and finding the average. This is what is regarded as 109 per cent of their current wages, a claim that ASUU has denied.

At least if not for anything,this will give Ibori something to chew on and worry about for sometime to come cos people he cares about arer involved so he cannot act aloof and I'm sure he won't be going to London anytime soon and he'll sure watch his back whenever he's in Europe.Bloody criminal fugitive

And Mukz,I know we trust our gaffer,but I think it's a bit way off to add it to the thread topic,considering the fundamentals and realities on ground post summer transfers,"Yes we can",is more preferred

[size=14pt]Shame on you Sanusi if this is true[/size]

[size=14pt]Looking back at our game against Wigan yesterday and comparing it with the results got by the chavs against stoke(with 14 mins extra time) and against spuds(convincing win) as well as with the result of the derby between the two scummie clubs,I have to say that if we truly are going to challenge for the tiltle this season,then we must be consistent with the kind of display we put up against wigan on Saturday[/size]
