(From an unbiased stand point   )Barcelona were CLEARLY the BETTER team on the night and deserved to go through

4 Play:
Trophyless , the award winning series is now into season 5.

Hope you're enjoing the show

invisible!:
Blues walking tall, nothing spoil. Painful draw but our heads are held sky high.

Make that Painful Loss  

I've never been a fan of defensive footie,I'm all too happy that Barca won,it's good for attacking footie(I have a feeling if Chelski had adopted a more attack-minded approach to the game,they would've got the second goal) especially when Barca was a man down,thankfully they didn't and opted to defend the 1 goal uninsured lead.

The UCL trophy this year has Barcelona written all over it.Manure will be decimated in Rome(not that I care if Barca loses,but there aint much Barca fans on Nland to poke fun @ should they lose,this cannot be said of Manure fans)

that is mudashiru picture. You can go and count the number of school building he built in lagos with less than a year in power. I do not know the number but he is the second best governor so far in lagos.

What I used to rate them is contribution to facilties in lagos state. And not how much they pay pressmen.

Jakande is the best in Nigeria so far. It is an issue of having vision. You do not need 4 years to change a society and leave your mark. Mudashiru within is short time on earth did. Even you want to know this. He never stole and not only that , where he was living some time back after his dead, his wife and children were service with notice to leave the place.

This man was in power there and did not steal and He built may be more that 500 to 1000 of those school building within less than 1 year. It is not like some people who after they became governors , they own a airline and another own a majority share in an oil company. Leader must be God fearing.

He can build Rome and Paris in Lagos within seven days for all I care,but having come to power through the barrel of a gun,he is nothing but a power thief,and I don't reckon with his like

Cristalz:
What makes Arsenal classier, Bendtner respecting the ref's authority? Arshavin disrespected it.  .  .hello? Abi is he a Pompey dude?

And, Carrick did not cheat. Poor Arshavin is the only classy gunner at the Emirates, and now he will soon be turned into yet another dishonest gaynner.
Poor boi.

Cristalz,Cristalz,Cristalz
How many times I call you?
Oya stop this kain talk one tam.What has honesty or dishonesty got to do with football,the guy knew if he let AA23 go,then there'd be a goal,I don't blame him for the tackle,neither do I blame the ref for the pen award.

Why didn't Vida run to the ref to say;Hey ref,are you blind or something,I stopped the ball in the 18 with me bloody right arm,c'mon award the pen to boro?

It's the ref's lot to make a call,and the players' to abide by the call

Q.E.D

And Madrid's defence was hot SH1T

I'm happy FAB4 is talking of gunning for the thnird spot,it's do-able http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/27871/cesc

I only hope Fulham,Blackburn and Sunderland will make chelski drop big points,while we take max points from chelski,manure and stoke city village

It's stories like these that make me shrug off stories like these:
[b]"Tension As Policeman Kills Soldier "[/b]https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-267713.0.html

I actually feel a bit "happy",when I read or hear that a policeman shot and killed a soldier or vice versa or that airforcemen invaded a police station shooting people or that some policeman somewhere killed a naval man.Idiots that can't even withstand some rag-tag supporter of APC militiamen in Dafur,no wonder the Dafur rebels killed so many of them easily as they only know how to fight and kill unarmed civilians but can't face gun-totting rebels and our boys from the creeks of Niger Delta.

However I am getting a bit bored with the episodes that involve the police as they always are on the wrong end of reprisals which they have a hard time coping with,I'm actaully "praying"the day naval ratings will kill a soldier,I will truly relish the reprisals as I'm sure it wont be like that of the police and I'm sure the soldiers will then have to bury more than one colleague.

I'll maintain this disposition until those drunk,brutish,murderous and good-for-nothing men in uniform are made to the face the wrath of the law for any crime of murder they commit.

One day,the gun laws of this country will be modified to make it easier to bear arms,that time we go see how many people go stand wait make one stupid,useless and half-trained soldier come torture them so tey dem kpeme,no be to dey first shoot their useless asses

Hissssssssssssssssssssssssssss

FG orders for 2million doses of swine flu drug
By Niyi Odebode and Oyetunji Abioye
Published: Saturday, 2 May 2009
The Federal Government has placed an order for 2million doses of a drug that will be used to tackle the rampaging swine flu pathogen in the event that it enters Nigeria, Saturday Punch has learnt. The disclosure was made exclusively to Saturday Punch after the paper made specific enquiries about Nigeria’s preparednes at the Federal Ministry of Health on Friday. The Minister of Health, Professor Babatunde Osotimehin, who spoke through his Special Assistant on Communication, Mr Niyi Ojuolape, also reiterated that there was no case of the flu in Nigeria. As of Friday, about 500 confirmed cases of the flu had been recorded in the United States; Mexico; Canada; New Zealand; Spain; United Kingdom; Germany; Israel; Austria; Costa Rica; Peru; Switzerland and The Netherlands.

Prof. Babatunde Osotimehin, Minister of Health

Twelve people have reportedly died of the disease in Mexico, while the death of a 23-month-old child was recorded in the US on Thursday.

“The Federal Government has begun the process of emergency procurement of additional doses and stockpile in case we have human cases.We are anticipating to have two million doses of the drug (Tamiflu),” Ojuolape, who answered initial enquiries by email, said. Later when our correspondent requested for further clarifications by telephone, he confirmed that government had indeed placed an order for the drug, saying, “Yes, we have placed an order for it.” He, however, did not give the cost of the drug.

He said Nigeria only had about 100,000 doses of the drug at the moment. According to him, government does not envisage that the outbreak of the disease will be massive, if it gets to Nigeria, He said, ”In countries that the disease has occurred, the total number of cases that have been recorded has not exceeded 500.”

Ojuolape said the country’s present stock of Tamiflu was procured last year for treating the bird flu, which recorded only one human victim in the country.

”The drugs are already in the states, but if there is any state requiring additional stocks, we have machinery with which we can get the drug to such a state.” According to him, Tamiflu, which is manufactured by a Swiss pharmaceutical company, Roche, has been distributed to 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. He added that the drugs were stored at federal and states‘ ministries of health stores as well as some hospitals in all the states.

When asked how many people could be treated with 100,000 doses of the drug, the minister stated, ”We should remember that for Avian Flu, we had only one confirmed human case so far. We think from the past experience and lessons learnt from other outbreaks, we will not have a lot of cases.”

According to him, if a lot of cases are recorded, more procurement will be made within a very short time.

Meanwhile, as governments all over the world rush to equip their airports with thermal scanners, the Federal Government is yet to do so.

This situation is contrary to government‘s promise, at the beginning of the week, that scanners would be installed at all entry points to screen people coming into the country. Saturday Punch‘s findings showed that, rather than the sophisticated scanners, health officials are using unrealiable disposable thermometers.

Our correspondent, who paid a visit to the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, on Thursday, did not see any thermal scanner at the arrival lounge of the country‘s foremost airport.

The thermal scanners are special scanners that screen passengers as they disembark from an aircraft, showing their body temperatures on screens monitored by health officials.

For example, some of the thermal scanners deployed in some Asian countries are configured in such a way that passengers with temperature above 37C are quickly identified and isolated.

Since high bodily temperature is one of the symptoms of the swine flu the thermal scanner is considered as one of the important first line preventive measures of stemming the spread of the flu.

Experts say that the non-deployment of the scanners could defeat the strenuous efforts that the Minister of Health, Professor Babatunde Osotimehin, has made in the last days to combat the flu. However, the minister tried to play down the importance of scanners insisting that government‘s efforts were adequate. ”There are no machines with which you can scan and identify viruses at the ports. If such scanners exist, the United States and Mexico would have installed them. It will take laboratory tests for us to identify and isolate viruses.

”What was meant was the fact that we are going to mount surveillance, through our officials at the airports so that we can detect as soon as possible the entry of anybody with the virus. Note that it is carried by humans and not necessarily airborne per se. Further to this, government has directed that all aircraft arriving the country be checked and cleaned up to ensure that both passengers and luggage have no trace of the influenza in them. Also, starting from today (Friday), port health authorities are to board planes arriving to try to identify anyone with flu with a view to clinically testing them in order to track down the entry of the flu by anyone.”

Officials of Port Heath Services at the Lagos airport, who refused to speak on record, confirmed to our correspondent that the equipment had not been installed but that they were presently using disposable thermometers to measure passengers‘ temperature. They also said that no case had been discovered yet. Experts have, however, said that using thermometers to measure passengers‘ temperatures may lead to a situation where impatient health staff may overlook those that ought to be checked. Our correspondent observed that due to the volume of passengers, it is difficult for PHS workers to test every passenger with the disposable thermometer.

The Port Health Services, which had issued an alert on the swine flu to airport managers and immigration, now has two stands located ahead of the immigration desk arrival hall, an arrangement that makes them passengers‘ first contact point.

Aviation and medical experts have said that Nigeria would have to be vigilant since its people travel a lot and is a country that is visited by people from different countries. The Head, Public Affairs, Murtala Muhammed International Airport , Lagos, of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria , Mr. Ola Ogundolapo, said that there were flights coming into the country from the various countries the flu had affected, on a daily basis. There are seven weekly flights from United Stated of America into Nigeria through Delta Airlines. There are about 60 weekly flights from various parts of Europe to Nigeria through British Airways, Air France, KLM, Turkish Airline, Lufthansa and others. However, he said that all agencies working at the airport had been put on alert by the Federal Ministry of Health through the Public Health Department‘s Port Health Services at the Lagos and Abuja airports, and that masks, gloves and thermometer had been made available to them.

Judging him objectively,I'll describe hios days in office so far in one word as a FAILURE,or two words as a MONUMENTAL FAILURE

@ OP

Could you please delete the name of Gbolahan Mudashiru from that equation

One man's meat is definitely another man's poison,so I'll reserve my comments

@ David
Now I know you're a gifted satirical writer,don't waste that talent,hope you've written or are writing materials to be published.You oughtta be earning some dollars on the side via your writing skills;SERIOUSLY

@ OP

Whatever genuine observations or otherwise you may have had was swallowed up in the abyss of your venomous presentation like you had a personal beef with the lady

Much as I respect Renaissance capital,I really don't care too much for what they have to say now,but the truth remains that the NSE is on the path of gradual recovery as has been noticed in the steady appreciation in the prices of some blue chips.The all share index has been closing at consistently higher figures and market cap is heading northwards too.

Personally if my liquidity level had permitted in the past three weeks,I know where and where I would have played in and by now I'd be talking between 20 -30% ROI.
Well it's never late,koz for me,stock trading is a way of life

bawomolo:
source?

Source
If you're asking for source,then you don't know Iwu.
This is the same Iwu that said the US election that produced Obama as president was just like Nigeria's own that even Nigeria's was better organised.Can you beat that??

Here we go again with unguarded and irresponsibly reckless comments by our government officials.
That was how a former official went ranting about that Nigeria wasn't a part of the global community hence was immune to the global meltdown

From what I've read of the loquacious Iwu,I think there was an error in that report cus the Iwu that I know will never be[i] modest[/i] enough to score himself just a paltry 80% in anything

Mixed feelings,we oughtta've got a goal @ old trafford
Not too inspiring game IMO

blackmann:
same as yesterday's game from my point of view, only that there was a goal here. the finals is still open to all the 4 teams.

Tonight's game was quite different from yesternight's,unlike chelski Arsenal came out to play,but my boys were not really inspiring
They'll do the job at the Emirates
We must be in the UCL finals kuz I wanna avenge the 06 finals loss to barca,can't wait to square up against them

Moonstone:
If only they utilized their many chances, you would be talking 3-0 by now.

It's easier said than done,second half ;we'll equalise
