Please who can lend the Barca defence a ladder. This is becoming unbecoming.

otokx: how did that happen?
Aerial threat of course. When your two wing backs are under four feet tall what do you expect.

Messi is definitely incap. Maybe just played for the fear factor.

There will be plenty today. The pitch is poor.

The pitch looks heavy in the centre circle. Is this natural or deliberate to stop the oily Catalan midfield.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Bayern Munich Vs Barcelona: UCL (4 - 0) On 23rd Of April 2013 by Reference(m): 7:47pm On Apr 23, 2013
I think Jupp turned down Pep's offer of advice. Now he will pay the penalty.

I dont know where you got your personal experience about Glo. If you refuse to take advantage of what is available to enjoy by its subscribers, whose fault is it? HE WHO CAN READ (RESEARCH) AND DOESNT DO IT HAS NO ADVANTAGE OVER THE STARK ILLITERATER. With just few kobo above N9/minute I call ANY network in Nigeria (overseas calls much cheaper). I receive 5mb for just N5 (that goes for N50 in mtn). I dont need to dial any glo number the 2nd or more to be sure 'the number you are calling is not available' is a fluke. Voice clarity is second to none! How many times has NCC sanctioned Glo? A BALD-HEAD DOESNT JUST WRITE FACTS BY SIMPLY SCRATCHING HIS HEAD.
NB: I use ALL networks, and I know what I am saying.
Yes, you use all networks but the key is do you use them everywhere in Nigeria cos not everyone who uses mobile phones stand in the very spot you do. I was at a location two weeks ago and GLO was off for three days, the other networks were working with Etisalat having the best connectivity.

All these talk about one better than the other is just not true. If communication is critical to your business and living my stern advice based on experience is to have and hold all lines. We have not attained universal coverage and quality to make number portability a must for everyone. However I support it in as much as it gives them a kick up their bnacksides. Downside - this is one of the few quality assurance cards the NCC has to play. If it doesn't produce the desired effect then we may have problems.

And this is simply because of the gross misconception that one network is better than the other. This is a dangerous misconception.

This is just fantastic, privatisation at its best. Once upon a time there was government red tape, corruption and ineptitude. Now the pressure is on the side of service providers.

On number portability it makes no sense to me. The quality of service across all networks are similar. I use all four and can't pin my prefrences on any for more than a couple of days so I run them all. Currently running MTN but the moment I leave this place in a few days I know which network I'll be switching to because MTN is notoriously useless there. They are all the same.
Politics › Re: CBN To Change From Polymer To Paper Notes by Reference(m): 2:07pm On Apr 22, 2013
Kokofi: I think it's a welcome development as the Polymer notes could hardly withstand the test of time... it doesn't fit into the Nigeria system because of how brutish we handle currency...
They are substantially more hygenic than paper notes. We should not forget that these notes reside predominantly amongst those that consider personal hygene exotic practice - market people, commercial transport and of course the boys in black. Polymer resists ther sweat, goo and microbes paper absorbs, hosts and transmits. Just get better polymers.

mikelreal: bros soludo has ntn to do with the exchange rate of dollar to naira, neither does the entire cbn, it all depends on how much a country's exports exceeds its import, i.e if we export more, naira wil be stronger, and vice versa
Don't mind them. No 2 champagne quaffers, Porsches as official cars and an aggressive private jet market that will make arabian kingdoms green with envy all resting on one thing - crude oil that pirates are now sharing.

I laugh. Where is the productivity behind any thought contrary to a falling currency value.

[quote author=ekt_bear]Well, if drug dealers operated in my neighborhood, I don't think anyone would think too poorly of me if I decided not to get involved in stopping them. Especially if they know where I live, know my house specifically, are armed and dangerous (as drug dealers usually are), etc.

Ever heard of the phrase "snitches get stitches?" Not sure if it applied to the Nigerian context, but it very well may.

Long story short, innocent bystanders may have legitimate reasons for not getting involved. Especially if the cost of getting involved is the Nigerian army turning your village into a war zone and wiping out nearly 200 of you sad[/quote]Ekt. It is indeed a tough call. The rules of engagement in this particular conflict are hazy but RPG's constitute a significant escalation. Soldiers do not ordnarily confront such weapons without armoured cover. And I mean tanks. These will do damage, indiscriminately. If people walk around your hood carrying RPG's, there will be lots of bodies in any confrontation. Its difficult to avoid.

If I'm not mistaken luis 'el rabbito' Suarez will come up against us in the Confed Cup in June. I advise the NFF to start seeking kevlar kits for our guys and please Vincent if you see the guy bearing down on you one on one just grab your hamstring and hobble away. Save yourself.

That is never a red card but its Arsenal's fault. They had time to send everyone home early.

If Fulham is parking the bus Arsenal has warehoused its guns.

Fulham still look good on the counter
Wwlcott doesn't have the build or the skill of a good striker.

Your courtship was too short to properly determine her suitability. Now that's past all you can and should do is to adapt. More complex ways exist to deal with this situation but start with the basics.

frodobee: Birds of a feather flock together. Even the NNPC and presidency enjoys touting- how else did they win elections? When i proposed the use of both chemicals and electric pulses to monitor and detect pipeline vandalization, it was thrown to the bin. Crude methods and mentality still runs the system.
So sorry sir. Who says its about detecting pipeline vandalism. Its about containing and deterring it. Do you have the fear factor of the OPC, the awesome arsenal of weaponry the MEND posesses or the operational and tactical acumen of Boko Haram (to come after amnesty). I'm sure you don't but probably depend on our law enforcement who are neck deep in the problem. And when you pitch their qualities against thise listed for the militants above then wither??

Sorry pal this is Nigeria.

superior1: Giving recognition and contracts to para-military organisations is tantamount to laying foundation for future insecurity. May God help Nigeria.
So we can all see that the core problem of this country is the structure. Here we can see that the huge security void is being filled by people who in nornal climes should be behind bars. They secure our present and future prosperity.
