European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Manchester City Vs Manchester United (1 - 0) On 2nd November 2014 by Reference(m): 4:55pm On Nov 02, 2014
I just hope United are not suffering the 'Liverpool syndrome', an extended period of mid table mediocrity since there is very little spring in the bounce back even after spending huge and an almost total rebuild. 2 seasons out of the UCL is not good for english footy.
Christianity Etc › Re: Why Pastor Adeboye Should Hand-Over Now by Reference(m): 4:30pm On Nov 02, 2014
Goshen360:
You people will rather die for. ..because it is Adeboye than die for the truth of God's word. We can't do anything against the truth my dear. Listen, I was almost ordained as deacon because my eyes was opened and I saw some unscriptural practices and I left. I can mention some names to you in rccg and you will be shocked how much I know RCCG.

The truth is, rccg have departed from the truth of the gospel and is now part of the babylon system of the world. This is no condemnation because there's no condemnation for those in Christ but we say the truth when those in Christ make wrong choices.
Oga. As long as the gospel is being preached and souls are being delivered the church remains functional. If your leaving also enhances that, fine. You are roped into politics just as the others for he who has no senses feels no pain after all the bible makes it clear, church leadership is optional. It says 'if...' concerning deacons, elders, etc. I focus on God and His Word and have no time to jump into mud pits with anyone. Look unto God. Eyes up and not down.

komek:
I am a redeemer. The case of RCCG will be worst than that of CAC if he dies. So many branches of the church have been converted to personal parishes as a result of marginalisation from some ethnic groups in the church.

I once asked they shud give me the first five leaders of the church. What I noticed was that they are from same ethnic group. Does it mean they own the church? Does it mean they are more holy than the rest? So many questions...
Am coming back.
As a pig is to muck and mud so is the Nigerian to tribe and ethnicity. It defines and defiles us. We need more than a spiritual cleansing, maybe a DNA reboot to become human in this country. Pity. Even in church.

Abujalandlord:
The next thing for most these generals will be to join the our lucrative politics.......instead, given their wealth of experience, I suggest they should form private security firms to tackle the insurgency problem or guard our pipe lines or national assets,
A win win situation in terms of cost and effectiveness, since our chicken soldiers can't do that
Their corps is not into those sort of things. These ones don't even need to handle conventional weapons. They service the 'teeth' arms of infantry, armoured, artillery and to some extent signals corps with the means to sustain campaigns or operations by providing power, repairing damaged or broken down tanks, self propelled guns and the likes.

Honestly when the President declares a state of emergency on power or wishes to protect the nations pipelines from vandals or wishes to rid the highways of intransigent trucks and truckers or make the railways work despite sabotage, these are the square pegs for the job because they have a certain level of know-how but with much more teeth. That is knowledge the average rampaging paramilitary man does not have and balls of steel to get things done which the average 'bloody civilian' hasn't either.

We have a lot of resources in this country going to waste. The leaking faucet in the desert syndrome and the sheer lack of critical thinking, new ideas is one of our biggest challenges here in Nigeria.

I thought u guys are praying in ur churches; mosques & shrines that Nigeria should get better....huh

Hypocrites....

this country is going no where as far people like the Jagaban (Tinubu); IBB; OBJ; GEJ; diesani; david mark etc are still being celebrated as heros in Nigeria.
So you can see where the problem of Nigeria lies, not with the government but the governed. That is the barometer to check a nations trajectory, how the people think and act. And from what am seeing we are yet to arrive the airport thoughtless of travelling.

These are all faulty moves. Was against his stay after the world cup (his choice). Was against his sack (at a very critical time that sends the wrong signal to our team and boosts the morale of our opponents). But having shot ourselves in the foot what are we still doing, playing around with guns.

Keshi's re-hire/un-firing or whatever it is called it not a good idea. He's already stated he was railroaded by certain black agents in the house and the team. Now he will go after them with venom to Nigeria's detriment.

At best he is a distraction and a very convenient excuse to fail says the NFF's body language.

Stop the panic. It is not even technically possible to islamize Nigeria. There may be violence but that is symptomatic of failure rather than success.

Nigeria is a very sick country!
When you remove 1 trillion naira from the economy to tool your security forces to fight a religious fuelled war then it will surely affect your ability to perform. You think religion is unimportant. Please wake up.

Messi is so often destabilized with new players around him. Takes a heck long time to get him playing with new team mates and just how many leave in frustration when they receive no answer on their calls to him. I hope Suarez is not the latest in the long list.

Note: i m a united fan
Ah, ah. What's wrong with you folks. There are enough 'best player' awards and ratings. This is not one of them. It is rather in the mould of the '100 Most Influential People' that international mags publish annually.

If you conducted a poll of the top 100 players who made the Premiership what it is, this is what you get. Is the Premiership the most technical league competition....no. So this list is not a technical assessment of individual players. It is a 'who is who' of Premiership history.

ROSSIKE:
So what IS the criteria? Number of games played? Number of titles won? Those cannot be the criteria to rate a footballer, as those factors are out of the player's control.
Broad based recognition. Form, titles, notoriety, etc. The names that sold papers and upped tv viewership and made the EPL a global brand. A non ending soap opera. These are the folks on the list. If you didn't do it or did it long enough like John Barnes you get dumped in the basement. Hahaha ol John. For all the noise you make.

Kanu played well but didn't last long and he was quite dour in media circles. Not one to remember.

Well the whole story can be viewed from different perspectives. Yes, they didn't go out hunting ebola but stumbled into an ambush and fought to survive. That is worthy of a medal. When the news broke and the wounded were being brought in no Nigerian would go near them. It was a certain foreigner from the WHO or was it MSF who attended to them for days until we Nigerians were up and running. I think he deserves the most commendation because one big difference between Nigeria and other hard hit countries was the quality of early case treatment. Without that guy there may not have been any in that picture still alive and certainly many many more infections.
