The boy marking Ronaldo is exactly that, a boy. They should deal with that wing while there is still time.

Panic stations in the dutch defense. I hear Van Marwijk has started taking calls. NFF are you interested.

[quote author=Olu_Bendel]These are the best posts av read on nairaland im many days. What is realy wrong with our youths and thinking system for goodness sake.We cry and complain to high heavens of the attrocities and corruption of our political leaders and when an Otedola sticks out his neck and business to confront the status quo, we turn round and descend on him. what are we intending to achieve with this, how on earth do we expect other business men who are being extorted to come out tommorow and blow the lid on these evil rampaging our nation.If you have a problem with Otedola and his Business/Political operandi why dont you wait for another case to do this.To Imagine Mallam Zakari Moh'd publicly stating that "As far as we are concerned in this country, for every personality that claims to be straightforward, we know his or her background, antecedents, way of life and means of doing business".This is the same reason they go about extorting every other businessman because they believe nobody is straightforwad? haba coming from an honourable its both shameful and despicable.Now they want to "deal with Otedola" for heavens sake lets not take our eyes off the ball.These honourables dont mean well for you and I.Otedola might just be a tool in helping to expose them, nobody said he was a saint.[/quote]He, he he. Talking of balls. You were playing suddenly the ball boy threw another ball onto the pitch. The ref calls a halt. Does that end the game. Of course some will want it so. But I have a feeling the HOR will come out of this the strongest provided they maintain reforms.

anthony86: Femi Otedola is a business man and how he runs his business is not anybody's business so far the Law permits him. But faroouk Lawan is an elected public official who is accountabe to the masses that put him there.Let face facts and not be distracted by politcians
Exactly. In Nigeria corruption is only government. Corporate Nigeria and the private sector can do no wrong. Thinking like this will keep us swimming in this sewer for generations to come.

akigbemaru: But honestly, let's be realistic, Nigeria cannot be moved forward if everything about is so corrupt. I used with this tailoring company that sows Army, Navy and NYSC uniforms. They get up to 200m nairas of contract but the sad news is it's 30 percent for the DG, each time they are awarded contracts. They get paid 10 percent upward for the contract and the (company) paid 30 percent in full to the DG before they even commence the contract. Then, it may take the tailoring company two to three years before its finally receive its full money from the government. Sometimes, if one DG has been sacked or redeployed, the company may have to pacified the new DG and it must not less than the 10 percent of the contracted figure, the company wants the contract next time. If you think your company has a long-leg and you can't pay, that means you can't get the contract. Because there are a lot of contractors willing to pay more than 40 percent to the DG. I will advice that we should invoke death penalty just like China on anybody being caught up with mess like this, just to return sanity.
This is what I am saying. Your boss and the DG are robbing the bank while you and your colleagues provide covering fire. If the China treatment should be meted out both your boss and the DG will be hung. For you your best case scenario will be job loss, the worst case is twenty years to life if you are the accountant.

We often fool ourselves in Nigeria thinking corruption is a government thing alone. The truth is that fuel importers, IOC's, engineering contractors, audit firms, banks, etc are all private sector. When you begin to hang the very fabric of corporate Nigeria will collapse.

I say it again and stand to be corrected. 7 out of every 10 workers in any sector is paid with marked naira or dollar notes. The illegal economy in Nigeria should be approaching 60% of our GDP. We only shout corruption when others are involved.

Game over. Wetin Keshi and that man dey yarn. Fair match. They have given us just enough to be optimistic but not enough for us to lose our heads as usual.

They are just trying to qualify and so are just going about their business. Entertainment, high score line and the next thing is complacency. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. We are coming from an all time low.

honeric01: We played 0:0 when we went visiting them, now we are beating them presently..

They are also not above us in fifa ranking, so get your records right.
And they are not troubling us today in any way. Save for a silly error I can't see an upset.

But come oh. That was a penalty now.

Imagine one of them saying 'Ahmed Musa has come under a lot of attack from this Rwandese defence'. When everything is now a job in Nigeria and nothing is a profession anymore. My sister, my brother, my friend is qualified.

They are improving but just marginally.

edoyad: Can you imagine? A match hosting World Cup qualifiers is that terrible, NFA or whatever they call themselves will never change
That's why the game is so ragged. You play two passes on the ground, the third you have to float to evade interception. Just kills the flow.

I hope the match ends with this scoreline so we can keep our heads.

The defence appears a lot mature than previously. Could it be due to the opposition.
