Atletico Madrid’s 2-0 loss against Real Sociedad before the international break pushed them back to fourth position with 21 points, six behind Real.

Recent history, however, totally favors the home side. Real Madrid has failed to beat Simeone’s men six times in a row in La Liga. The only manager who defeated Diego Simeone as the Real boss was Jose Mourinho, who won all three of their league meetings.

Though Atletico has struggled to find the momentum this season, they have a huge advantage over their rivals at home, where they remain unbeaten in 22 league games in a row.
Atletico Madrid: Team News

There are a few injured players on the Roji Blancos squad. Argentine Midfielder Gaitan was declared unfit to play in the match due to gluteal strain.

Andre Moreira and Augusto Fernandez also will be unavailable because of a knee injury and a knee-ligament injury respectively.

Atletico star Antonio Griezmann, who has already scored six La Liga goals, will lead the attack against Real Madrid. Given his experience in big matches, Fernando Torres might get a chance alongside Griezmann to start in front of the home fans.


Atletico’s Predicted Lineup Vs. Real Madrid

Oblak — Juanfran, Savic, Godin, Filipe Luis — Gabi, Koke, Saul, Carrasco — Torres, Griezmann
Real Madrid: Team News

Troubles seem to surmount for manager Zinedine Zidane as new injuries rule out the selection of many of the team’s key players.

Once again this season, striker Karim Benzema will miss a game because he is still undergoing treatment for Sacroiliitis, according to the club report.

A huge blow hit Real Madrid supporters when the young striker, Alvaro Morata, got a knock in the 2-2 draw against England this week. Real’s attacking force will be diluted as these two strikers are unavailable vs. Atletico.

New midfield star Casemiro’s absence from the lineup due to a long term injury surely will weaken Madrid’s midfield. Casemiro has been one of the key figures for Real Madrid’s success in recent months, and it will be tough for Zidane to replace a player of his caliber.

Star defender Sergio Ramos is also certain to miss the derby due to a knee injury. Ramos, who scored in two Champions League finals against Atletico, will be a huge miss for Los Blancos.

Good news for the Whites fans is that Ronaldo and Bale are fit to lead the attack from the front. A comeback of Pepe from injury will be a relief for Zidane as he can form a stable partnership with Raphael Varane to hinder the opponent’s attacks.
Real Madrid’s Probable Lineup Vs. Atletico

Navas — Carvajal, Varane, Pepe, Marcelo — Kroos, Isco, Kovacic — James, Ronaldo, Bale

Explorers:
Pro-democracy protests erupted in March 2011 in the southern city of Deraa after the arrest and torture of some teenagers who painted revolutionary slogans on a school wall.

Some were killed in detention, and this led to public protests which spread around the country fuelled by the failure of the government to punish the perpetrators.

After security forces opened fire on demonstrators, killing several, more took to the streets.

The unrest triggered nationwide protests demanding President Assad's resignation.

The government's use of force to crush the dissent merely hardened the protesters' resolve.

By July 2011, hundreds of thousands were taking to the streets across the country.

Opposition supporters eventually began to take up arms, first to defend themselves and later to expel security forces from their local areas.

INTRODUCTION
Seun is an Ogun state born Programmer,Webmaster and business man, he’s the founder and owner of Nigeria and Africa’s largest online Forum NAIRALAND the website was the
most visited Nigerian and African Site untill 2015 according to Alexa ranking. Seun is a very successful online entrepreneur and a very private person.

EARLY LIFE AND BACKGROUND
Seun Osewa was born and raised in Sango Ota Ogun State Nigeria. He grew up learning
and knowing the technological part of life.
Seun osewa has been interested in the internet business since he has known what internet
is and how to use it.
Seun enrolled as a student in the University Of Ile Ife to study electrical engineering in 1998 but he did not finish. No, he wasn’t rusticated. Too brilliant to be. Looks like he dropped out of the school to pursue his programming dream and here he is today.

CAREER AND LIFE
Seun started his internet career in the year 2003 after going into the web hosting business.
He had attempted to start a web hosting business, but after 3 months he could only boast of one customer, so he ran out of capital and the business died..after several ideas and other trials he decided to start a web forum, because it was the only idea that required no additional capital. He created 3 forums in November 2003 (one for higher institution students, one for IT discussions, and one to cover the emerging GSM industry; the Mobile Nigeria Forum at MobileNigeria.com).

The Mobile Nigeria Forum took off, so he relaunched it in February 2005 with the assistance of Mr. John Sagai Adams, who posted a link to the forum on his mailing list
and participated enthusiastically in those early days. In a month or so, the forum had about 300 members, but the growth potential didn’t satisfy him.

He decided to start Nairaland when he noticed two odd things about MobileNigeria:

(1) Despite its narrow focus, it was the only Nigerian community that gave a voice to Nigerians at home. Most other Nigerian sites were owned and dominated by Nigerians in the US or UK. They covered only issues of interests to Nigerianst abroad.

(2) The off topic section of the forum, covering topics outside telecoms, like romance and jokes, was becoming more vibrant than the Mobile Nigeria Forum itself, suggesting the need for a more general-purpose Nigerian forum. This gave him the confidence to take forums like Naijaryders and Talknaija head on by starting a general purpose discussion forum with a strong bias towards issues of interest to Nigerians at home. He felt that such a site could attract enough traffic to make enough money.
Nairaland got much higher traffic than expected making his income on Nairaland much more than expected.

DO YOU KNOW WHY WE STARTED HAVING MODERATORS?

As Nairaland grows seun had problems with spammers flooding the forum so he started getting helps from moderators he selected. Seun got help in updating the forum’s frontpage and keeping it clean by moderators like
Mukina2 a female mod who has been working with seun since 2007 and others.

In 2011 seun was approached by a group of company who wants to buy nairaland for 1million dollars which is 155million naira but he rejected the approach, and even nairaland’s estimated worth by a site ranker for the year 2011 was 512million naira making it the most expensive nigerian site. Despite all these money seun whom is expected to be leaving in one huge mansion in estates like Banana island lagos only lives in his hometown sango ota ogun state a very close little city to lagos state.
Fame power, money we all love and seek to have. But as someone that knows Seun quite well -even if not physically yet, and may never – the guy just doesn’t appear to like the celebrity status. Some people use money to buy fame, Seun uses money to run away from
it! There are people that will pay to meet Seun Osewa in person, but he has refused to show himself. With the largest African online forum under his control, more than half a million people that depend on his online website to make their day, Seun can easily wield power. But all those appear not to be his style.

A case in point: when he was listed by the organizers of The Future Awards in the controversial “Nigeria’s 100 Best” list, which presented him with an opportunity to dine with the celebrities in Aso Rock (what some people will pay millions to get), it didn’t even freak the Ota-based geek. Rather, he sarcastically commented on my Facebook wall when I raised a criticism of the TFA list that, “oh, it’s a good list because I saw my name there”. Oh, he only saw his name there, he didn’t partake in anything – a free ticket to visit Aso rock but he never went. Such is Seun’s abhorrence for fame. We shall conclude seun looks upto Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg as they both have
same attribute of seriousness in their field, facebbook founder wore just one tie throughout a whole year to show a sign of seriousness in making facebook a real big thing and so seun also used just one profile picture in all his online accounts including nairaland for over 2years in which he is till using as at 2014 to show a sign of seriousness in making nairaland much more huge.
Seun once aspired to be a movie producer but never was, may be he is going start in future.

Some people do think seun is a (born again christian) because of some of his gentle gentle pretense but he is totally not. It looks like he is a great fan of actress Tonto Dikeh has he get involved with posts related to her often on Nairaland.
He is also a great fan of a popular TV series "GAME OF THRONES."

davidif:
I completely blame Seun for that. If he were truly serious about this. He would start banning this people and banning there ip addresses from being able to log in. I am guessing he only cares about online traffic and ad dollars so he won't do anything about it. How can you say you are against sectarianism and open a thread that attracts them ("Nairaland says no to secessionists"? This shows that they are only paying lip service about being against tribalism.

Ajehswag:
No1. I think everyone on Nairaland both members and guests have seen this one. It is the picture of south African President Jacob Zuma with his two fingers joined together..

Steve Jobs’ Last Words
-
I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world.
In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success.
However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to.
At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death.
In the darkness, I look at the green lights from the life supporting machines and hear the humming mechanical sounds, I can feel the breath of god of death drawing closer…
Now I know, when we have accumulated sufficient wealth to last our lifetime, we should pursue other matters that are unrelated to wealth…
Should be something that is more important:
Perhaps relationships, perhaps art, perhaps a dream from younger days ...
Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me.
God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone’s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth.
The wealth I have won in my life I cannot bring with me.
What I can bring is only the memories precipitated by love.
That’s the true riches which will follow you, accompany you, giving you strength and light to go on.
Love can travel a thousand miles. Life has no limit. Go where you want to go. Reach the height you want to reach. It is all in your heart and in your hands.
What is the most expensive bed in the world? - "Sick bed" …
You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear the sickness for you.
Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – "Life".
When a person goes into the operating room, he will realize that there is one book that he has yet to finish reading – "Book of Healthy Life".
Whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we will face the day when the curtain comes down.
Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends...
Treat yourself well. Cherish others.
As we grow older, and hence wiser, we slowly realize that wearing a $300. or $30.00 watch - - - - - - - they both tell the same time...
Whether we carry a $300 or $30.00 wallet/handbag - - - - - - - the amount of money inside is the same;
Whether we drink a bottle of $300 or $10 wine - - - - - - - - - - - - the hangover is the same;
Whether the house we live in is 300 or 3000 sq. ft. - - - - - - - - loneliness is the same.
You will realize, your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world.
Whether you fly first or economy class, if the plane goes down - - - - - - --you go down with it...
Therefore..I hope you realize, when you have mates, buddies and old friends, brothers and sisters, who you chat with, laugh with, talk with, have sing songs with, talk about north-south-east-west or heaven &
earth, .... That is true happiness!!

Looks like an obituary.

donphilopus:
No. I think he's Prof's nephew or so.

TippyTop:
I have no problem with Obaseki appointing a Yoruba man but appointing him the chief of staff, come on.
The Chief of staff is like the Governor's "gateman" he controls who sees the governor.
That appointment was made straight from Bourdillon road.

Not Prof. But him small Nephew.
