Arsenal fans are probably gona hav a said story to tel 2day,after playing Manchester United.

Sure we have 
Who's laughing now 

Emperoh:
Hmmm! Gaynners. Pathetic gaynners.
No matter how una rejoice, another trophyless season stares you guys in the face.

I've noticed that most peeps that have nothing concrete to say,will resort to saying pathetic this,pathetic that
What's pathetic in whopping manure ass

Talking about a trophyless season,I think you just made what I'd call a poetic prophecy,meaning manure is in for a trophyless season this time around

presido1:
Why can't Garry go for the ball. Everytime he keep on tracking back.

He's playing to instruction

tboy1:
why is toure on d bench?

Beats me man
Last time I checked,he wasn't on the injury list

A backline of Song,Sagna,Silvestre and Toure ?
Well it's okay as long as Toure and Sagna don't stray too far into the scumtwat's half too often,lest Silvestre be had for speed on a counter

Cristalz:
Just like the Gunners were super excited when Hull came out to play

Now you know that's a dry joke
Hull is history,would have been a different story if 'twas spuds

Dr. Dre:
@ Coded
Trust me na I'm ever ready. Will please an order for a vaccine

Dre what kind of Doc are you?The music-biased I suppose
I'm sure you meant to say place an order for a vaccine
In any case vaccines are not used to treat injuries,they're used for preventing the spread of diseases

Do remember that pride does go before a fall,Arsenal thus far, surely is weaker this season than the last,but manure is not exactly firing on all cylinders and I know that our players will definitely up the ante because unlike those wannabe premiership sides that resorted to 9-1-1 formation,played -ve footie for 90minutes plus and got away with wins,manure will come out to play and nothing excites the Gunners more than a team that comes out to play,so i suggest you show a little patience as the game is only but some hours away now okay.

Hi y'all

Hi y'all

HNIC:
One thing I will be sure about on Saturday:
Whenever Anderson tries a shot at goal,there'll be some fans at the Emirates ready to catch the ball

And I. say a big Aaaaaaaaaaaaamen to that.Abi ooo
I can see the atmosphere this morning is filled with much humour

A win against Manure on Saturday will really heal a lotta wounds

~Sauron~:
Arsenal are weaker than they were last season. . . . .Honestly, y'all don't scare the opponents any more.

Did you just realise that,or is it because we're playing y'all come Saturday?
Well this is the very crux of the matter which Debosky and I have been harping on
I don't even feel any excitement about any EPL fixture as I used to in seasons past,even up till last season
I will continue rooting for my club though,but that does not mean that all is well with the team

Tgirl4real:
tkb417,

I need u ASAP.

Ah ah,na so the thingy serious?

[quote author=]So you switched loyalty after the Stroke huh? I understand. . .Wenger can be such a heartbreaker some times[/quote]@ Criz,
Switch loyalty?not on your life dear
GUNNERZ for life ain't just a mantra,it's a religious creed
Yea yea,there's actually a fine line dividing AW and AF when it comes to stubborness,but I won't say either of them is a heartbreaker
There's a time for every purpose on earth,a time to get it right all the time,and a time to make some not-so-good calls
Just as there's a time for Arsenal to pull the rug from under y'all feet @ OT

@ Fellow Gunners
Bendtner is shyte,worse than MOFO IMO

Hey Criz,

Who will you be rooting for come Saturday?seriously now
You think you know,well don't underestimate the efficacy of our prayer sessions,
Sh** can make you switch loyalty even if only for a day  

Howzit with the happy this,happy that fellas  

Akingbola warns against oversimplification of meltdown


The President/Chairman of Council, the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria, Mr. Erastus Akingbola, has warned against oversimplification of the current global financial crisis, saying its effect will eventually trickle down to the country.

He said this on Tuesday during a courtesy visit to the corporate headquarters of Punch Nigeria Limited.

According to him, “Eventually, I am sure the crisis will trickle down here because even if the product that has caused them problems abroad was never sold here, because they are in trouble now, they are reducing all the lines of credit they used to make available to Africa.

“The crisis in the oil market has also trickled down here. There was a time oil was as high as $147 per barrel. Now, it has come down to $60. Those who bought the product at that time, still have it in their tanks, thinking of what to do with it. And I am sure some of them borrowed from banks.

“So for us to say that what is happening in the world will not affect us is over simplifying the issue.”

Akingbola, who is also the Group Chief Executive, Intercontinental Bank Plc, however, said that the Nigerian banking sector was lucky to have a central bank governor who understood his duty, adding that the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, had come out proactively ahead of time to caution the bankers on the current happenings in the stock and oil markets.

Akingbola noted that all Nigerian banks were solid, saying that “if we have 24 banks, 18 are very solid while the remaining ones are also super banks.”

He said, “The CBN Governor said that any bank that has liquidity problem can bring its loan and get some money so that life can go on afresh. That reassurance affects the inter-bank market because banks now know that there is an alternative.

“The banking public now knows that the CBN is supporting their banks, so there is no panic, unlike what happened in the United Kingdom. If people should line up at the same time to collect their money from a particular bank, that bank will surely go down. So, I think CBN has come out with the right action.”

Speaking on the crisis in the capital market, Akingbola said it was a normal situation everywhere in the world but that it was strange to Nigerians because they had always believed that once anything went up, especially prices, it should never come down.

He said, “Nigerians never believed that stock market prices would ever come down. For a very long time, playing in the stock market was like picking money on the road. “Drivers, security guards, everybody was investing in the market and they were making 100 per cent profit. They could not believe it was happening in Nigeria only for them to wake up to the rude shock that what was being priced at N40 had suddenly come down to N15.”

According to him, “When prices go up, you sell and take your profit, because there will be a rush for a lot of people to take profit. Once supply is more than demand, prices will come down but when it gets to the point we are approaching now, people go out to buy again. And when they start buying, the prices go up again and people take profit. That is how the market is all over the world.”

He, however, advised that people should get their funds ready to buy stocks because of a possible rebound in the next two weeks.

Nigerians react to naval ratings‘ assault on lady
By Chinyere Fred-Adegbulugbe, Olalekan Adetayo and Victor Sam
Published: Wednesday, 5 Nov 2008
Angry reactions on Tuesday trailed the Monday assault by armed naval ratings on a lady, Uzoma Okere, in Lagos.

All those who reacted, including human rights activists and hundreds of online readers of THE PUNCH, described the act as barbaric and called for the prosecution of the perpetrators.

The reactions came at a time when some concerned Lagosians who witnessed and recorded the dastardly act on a camcoder released its video footage to the public.

Six armed naval ratings attached to a Rear Admiral identified as Harry Arogundade, went wild on Monday on Muri Okunola Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, beating and stripping the lady naked.

According to eyewitnesses, the naval ratings hit the lady with their gun butts and beat her with horsewhips.

She was accused of not quickly giving way for the naval officer‘s convoy on her way home in her Mitsubishi Colt car.

By the time the rage ended, Okere, who was forcibly handcuffed and dragged into a private residence on the street in a humiliating assault, was left with a battered face, blood-shot eyes and bruises all over her body.

She was admitted at Kamorass Hospital on Victoria Island.

As at 6.30pm on Tuesday, 98 reactions had been posted to THE PUNCH‘s website by Nigerians (both at home and in the Diaspora) who were irked by the incident, making the news item top on the list of most read stories on the website for the day.

All of them agreed that no man, no matter his social status, had the right to infringe on another citizen‘s fundamental human right.

In her reaction, the Director, Gender Development Action, Ms. Ada Agina-Ude, described the assault on the lady as a display of raw power.

In a telephone interview with one of our correspondents, Agina-Ude called on lawyers, women and human rights activists, to rally round the lady with a view to getting justice.

She said, ”My first reaction is that what type of military personnel will beat a woman to that extent because of a traffic offence, assuming she even committed it. I don‘t understand that kind of mentality.

”She did the right thing by getting a lawyer. I plead with the lawyer to ensure that the case is pursued to the end.”

Another activist, Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin, while describing the incident as condemnable and barbaric, said all those involved should be brought to book.

She added that it was regrettable that a Rear Admiral who should be looked up to by junior officers for direction could allow his boys to misbehave in his presence.

Also, the Deputy Director, Women Advocacy and Documentation Research Centre, Mrs. Grace Ketefe, said the naval ratings‘ action was against the dignity of a woman.

Ketefe said because of her organisation‘s belief that the perpetrators should not go unpunished; it would soon address the public and petition policy makers on the issue.

But the Nigerian Navy, on Tuesday, attributed the incident to provocation from the victim.

Addressing journalists in Abuja, the Director of Information, Nigerian Navy, Commodore David Naibada, alleged that Okere provoked one of the naval ratings when she stepped out of her car that was in front of the admiral‘s convoy and seized the horsewhip he was holding.

Naibada accused the victim of making up stories to embarrass the admiral ”who incidentally was a junior officer to her father when the duo were in the military school together.”
