European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Atletico Madrid Vs Real Madrid: Spanish Super Cup (1 - 0) On 22nd August 2014 by Reference(m): 4:04am On Aug 23, 2014
Dhulqarnain: Atletico Madrid:2010-2014,7 trophies won!!!
Real Madrid:2010-2014,6 trophies won.
And thats despite d fact that R.Madrid av spent notin less dan 456m euros more dan Atletico around d same period!!!
Money indeed isnt evrytin!!!
That's why we say that football is a team sport not the sum of individual parts. Most Nigerians recognise this about foreign club football but when it comes to their national team the Super Eagles they begin to say 'bring this player, he is in great form', bring that player, he scored a gazillion goals in Mongolia', without even looking at team balance and ethic.

Nairaland General › Re: Construction Companies And Rainmakers: Facts Or Fictions? by Reference(m): 10:56am On Aug 22, 2014
Oklander: If you are referring to road expansion and contraction during hot and cold whether, those are factors taken care of during the design irrespective of the season.

Water control is very crucial in road constructions, it is one of the most important factors considered. If the road is constructed during dry season and by chance the movement and possible effects of water is not properly "predicted" and taken care of, the road will be as good as "finish", The end(destruction) starts the following season(rainy). So its best during the rainy season as during this time you would be able to see and eliminate possible future effects of water that may probably leads to destruction.
Not correct sir.
Nairaland General › Re: Construction Companies And Rainmakers: Facts Or Fictions? by Reference(m): 10:53am On Aug 22, 2014
Oklander: Even if its possible, I see no reason why they would do that as Road construction is best during rainy season...
Edit
Don't mean constructing when its raining. Best and durable roads are achieved during rainy season, due to possible repetitive filling and compaction, although it will in cure more cost, but if its safer to achieve that best result, then safety comes first.

If you work for God He pays you well. It is in the scriptures so I don't have any problem with any church or minister in riches. And you simply cannot be blessed in Christianity without offering sacrifices FIRST starting with your self then your means so these men are all heavy 'givers' as well.

No. They are saying unless the contact is 'gravely ill'. Does the virus know or cares that its victim is gravely ill. More people than necessary will go because of this apparent error. The downplay continues. Only RIP's and epitaphs are well thought of.

caseless: idupaul was right. D US gave d IS training and arms to fight assad , now the monster they created is out of hand right now and hunting d US themselves. I'm happy that this is happening cos the world wil knw why assad was fighting without looking back. Now they can now help assad if they want to defeat isis. D US shldnt trust even d Free syrian army rebel grp cos they'r all the same to isis.
This is too simplistic and you must read more. Assad is a shiite and has led a predominantly shiite dominated government in a sectionally balanced country. ISIS is a fundamentalist sunni sect who view themselves as liberators wherever sunnis are under tribute whether in Syria or Iraq, countries weakened by internal conflict with the objective of a greater sunni caliphate across the mid east. So they appeal to a lot of folks there such as the Saudi's who wash them with cash in exchange for peace in their own kingdoms and the pleasures of seeing the shiite empire quake - the persians, Iran I mean.

It was strictly sectarian but America has poured water on a fuel fire and it is going out of control just like Bin Laden reloading. Osama was a soviet problem before america nosed in making it a global problem.

The question I would ask Nigerians is. Which will you prefer, 1 child to ABC university at N 500,000 per annum or 10 children in XYZ university at N 50,000 per annum. Think carefully.

lakpalakpa: A Government that is unable to fund the existing Universities and Polytechnics has no business building new ones.

Isn't that why he's called a Kindergarten President??

grin grin
So where do you want the money to come from. Is it his fault that Nigerians reproduce like rabbits and then heap all the expenses on a government they are unwilling to pay taxes to or pay realistic, 'high quality tuition' for 'high quality educational services'.

Most people who condemn the system are the ones clogging it up. If only they could tell us how many kids they have or how many of their siblings government has to educate viz their entire tax contributions. It is the same critics that will berate private universities for demanding higher fees and indict those who pay.

They want someone else to square the circle and clean the dustbin. Just tired of the Nigerian hypocrisy and irresponsibility. They want steady power but they don't pay bills and hail their neighbour who steals power as 'smart'.

Anyone who has more than two kids or two siblings should not complain. Just suck it up and work hard to bridge the gap. Our oil revenues are not growing at par.

ARES: they should equally arrest the owner of the 15m, in this cashless system, what are u doing with 15m cash.....
the only business that requires that kind of money in cash is always illegal business
You can say that again. The police doesn't know that if they follow the money 90 percent of crimes will be solved. I bet if the source of the 15 million is traced it will end up in a smuggling, swindling, graft, fraud or one money laundering racket or the other. Its just that the web will quickly grow so big that the cops will be overwhelmed. Who goes around with 15 million in cash these days abeg.

In these days of terror and the battle to find their sponsors the cops should be all over these 'big cash hauls' like flies over a rotting corpse.

Yes it may have improved but I assume it is because the rains are here and Kainji/Shiroro reservoirs are full coupled with mild weather. Come the dry season heat wave and the excuses.

Which leads me to think why the government did not centre its power policy on dams instead of gas plants. Hydro may be seasonal but they appear far cheaper to build and run and appear easier to protect from sabotage.

They went ahead and built all these gas plants that sit idly today knowing only the PIB could guarantee steady supply of gas to power them. Is this not a case of executive and legislative sabotage.
