Still from the same song. Eminem-Rock Bottom There people that love me and people that hate me but its the evil that makes me backstabing,deceitful and Shady i want the money the women fortune and fame.

For me there are alot but i choose this for now. Eminem- Rock Bottom- When lifes makes you mad enough to kill that's Rock bottom,when you want something bad enough to steal that's rock bottom,when feel like you've had it up to here cuz you mad enough to scream but you sad enough to tear.

Please write a song and little part of the lyrics that match things happening to you,I mean songs that you feel were written because of you,because a part of the lyrics or all matches happenings in your life.

You guys shouldn't blame him from the name you should know is too proud being an igbo "Bialegend" what a cocky b.stard! Aren't igbo Nigerians? Ninny! Why can't you just be happy they are Nigerians.

@Omar22 so hosting an Olympics cost that much?, that china still owe debts? If its like that them i doubt if we can ever host a world event.

Dis Guy:
Maybe because they cant even host a primary school games!!
and Nigerians are so sensitive! the BBC and other international media would bombard Nigeria with documentaries
just a couple of BBC photodocumentaries is giving Nigerians sleepless nights
You should have seen what one Scottish newspaper wrote about Nigerian when Abuja was shortlisted to host the commonwealth games

legacies of pasts games like NUGA, All Africa games and the recently concluded under 19 tournament says it all really
where are the stadia and facilities now? the generators? the team buses

Maybe in 2020 we can host like a world basketball competition or Hockey tournament sha! we are not ready for the world yet!

Please When we Naija Host something this Great! ??

Soaring on a wave of praise for hosting one of the greatest World Cups in history, South Africa says it is now ready to tackle an even bigger challenge: the first Olympics on African soil.

It would be a hugely expensive gamble, a challenge that has nearly bankrupted other countries. Yet after the extraordinary success of the World Cup over the past month, a bid for the 2020 Olympic Games could be the next natural step for South Africa, and for the African continent.

Just a few weeks ago, critics were portraying South Africa as a crime-ridden country where foreign soccer fans would be attacked by machete-wielding gangs, mugged in the streets or, at a minimum, lost in transport chaos. None of those gloomy predictions came true.

South Africa had the resilience and pragmatism, and the first-world infrastructure, to pull off a triumphant World Cup with verve and cheerfulness. Most observers are now calling this one of the best World Cups in history, largely because of the enthusiasm of the host country and its people. With 3.2 million spectators, and huge television audiences, it boasted the second-highest attendance – and greatest profits – of any World Cup in history.

With the soccer tournament over, the South Africans are keen to capitalize on this momentum. This is a sports-crazy country, yearning for more of the nation-building campaigns that the World Cup provided, and now it is chock full of the highways, airports, hotels and spectacular stadiums that would bolster an Olympic bid.

A bid for the 2020 Olympics would be daunting. The summer Games would be massively expensive for a developing country to host – a cost that has proven nearly back-breaking even for wealthier countries like Greece – and the organizational pressures would be exponentially heavier than a soccer tournament. South Africa’s bid would be competing with well-funded cities like Rome, Tokyo, Madrid and possibly Toronto.

But now, with the World Cup to boost their prospects, South Africa’s Olympic organizers have quietly mapped out their plan. Over the next few months, they will consult widely among political and business leaders to ensure that their plan has support. Then they must choose their Olympic candidate city from three options: Cape Town, Durban or Johannesburg. Finally they will gear up their bid book and their lobbying machinery, targeting their efforts at a key meeting of the International Olympic Committee scheduled to be held in Durban next July. Everything will culminate in 2013 when the IOC chooses the host of the 2020 Games.

A careful look at Durban’s gorgeous new Moses Mabhida stadium, the site of a World Cup semifinal last week, reveals that an Olympic bid was a big part of the hidden agenda for the new architecture. Soccer fans were pushed back from each end of the stadium to make room for a track oval – exactly the correct size for Olympic track events. On its official website, Durban points out that the stadium has “the potential to expand to 85,000 seats to meet the requirements of large-scale events such as the Olympic Games.”

The IOC’s president, Jacques Rogge, has already said that he would welcome a South African bid. The entire sports world is “very happy” at the success of the World Cup in South Africa, he said on Saturday after a meeting with South Africa President Jacob Zuma.

Mr. Zuma has also declared that his country is ready for the Olympics. “I’m sure we could do it,” he said this month. “I will put it on the agenda. I don’t see why we can’t bid to host the Olympics in the future. It’s important for Africa.”

And FIFA president Sepp Blatter, head of the governing body for world soccer, says he would “fully support” a South African bid for the Olympics.

But persuading the IOC’s voting delegates won’t be easy. The Summer Olympics can be an organizational nightmare, far more complex and intensive than a World Cup, with up to 10 or 15 events happening simultaneously on each of its 16 days.

Brazil, another developing country, surprised the skeptics by winning the 2016 Olympics for its candidate city, Rio de Janeiro. But Brazil is far bigger and more powerful than South Africa, even if it shares some of the same issues of poverty and crime, and it will have greater resources to handle the Olympic costs.

Those costs can be enormous. The Olympics require dozens of venues, from basketball arenas and swimming pools to velodromes and equestrian venues, along with an Olympic Village for 20,000 athletes, and they must be located within a compact area. For the 2012 Olympics, for example, London has a budget of $13.3-billion – nearly triple the South African budget for the World Cup. Another developed country, Greece, spent nearly $11-billion on the 2004 Olympics (at current exchange rates) plus another $1.2-billion for security costs, and the burden was one of the contributing factors in Greece’s financial crisis that nearly bankrupted the country this year.

Each of the potential South African bidding cities has disadvantages too. Durban, with a population of 3.5 million, has good infrastructure and a warm climate on the Indian Ocean, but it has some of the worst crime and poverty in the country. And its organizational weaknesses were exposed last week when 500 soccer fans missed the semi-final because of chaos at Durban airport, where private VIP jets refused to make room for incoming passenger jets.

Cape Town has a spectacular location of mountains and ocean, along with a beautiful new stadium, but it failed in its bid for the 2004 Olympics and might lack the population base to support the Olympic venues. Johannesburg, the third option, has plenty of stadiums and a big population but is located at high altitude, a potential problem for Olympic athletes, and lacks the natural beauty of Cape Town and Durban.

Despite all of these pitfalls, South Africa now has the momentum and the global branding to make it a powerful contender for the Olympics. The IOC meeting in Durban next year, when the host city for the 2018 Winter Olympics will be chosen, could be a huge boost for the South African bid. “This is quite simply a masterstroke, ensuring that all IOC members and their spouses will be exposed to the city – and hence be able to draw on personal experience should they ever be required to assess its suitability as an Olympic host,” wrote David Owen, a blogger who specializes in global sports.

Some analysts suggest that a South African city would have a better chance of winning the Olympics in 2024, allowing the Summer Games to go to a safe choice in a wealthier country in 2020 after the Rio Games. But whenever its bid reaches a vote, it will have one huge advantage: the lure of history.

After the 2016 Games in Brazil, Africa will become the only continent that has never hosted the Olympics. The IOC, just like FIFA, will find it difficult to resist the temptation of entering the history books.

How come you never participate much in other Threads you are only concerned on Threads about the Gold coast!! Such a ninny!

Accept it twerp! GH4LIFE was copied from where? The pigin you typed is owned by who? like it or not we hav influenced your lifes in one way. Yeah i said am happy we have crime so nothin is gonna be strange when i see it happen in other countries what record of crime do you have? You know nothin. You are just a Mo'fuckin patriot! With no idea.

Ghana is the only country lookin @ the problems in Nigeria as an advantage to theirs we know how corrupt and Dangerous Kenya is but still her citizens will never compare it to any other. Yes i know we ave all these problems but i only get bitter while discussin with a Nigerian not a foreigner (Ghana) who's waitin for our mistakes so that they can make it their headline! That's not what i call brotherhood! So if its like that and its comin from the Majority. I hav to say To hell with them.

Actually i wish i wrote the whole of Hybrid Theory of Linkin Park's album.

@the Amaka you wont believe this people are vexed at the way we funkyzd our name to Naija or 9ja,which made them come up with "gh" as a short form of ghana which makes no sense! After we came up with the name that we never erase "Ghana must go" they came up with Nigeria is comin. which is better for us. I dont hate this guys but the way they brag makes me say fukk them heavily!.

@Pafuri i dont understand why you would choose Ghana over Naija,When about 60% of African countries wish they were us. Dat's numb! Never compare gana to 9ja its degrading no matter condition. Gana should be compared to Liberia,Togo,Benin,Cameroon,and the likes not us please. They are Damn! Toooo Competitive even the Govt suffers from that. So eff them.

This guy is a kid! Will see you 2014!

I wish was the writer of k'naan's-wavin flag,weezy's -lollipop, linkin park's-numb&new divide. What's yours

It got to the extent that i bragged with crime,they made me love crime when i started listing,419,yahoo,scammers,theives that will rob their central bank!! i said what record of crime do you have? So we better than them with crime i bet they are even vexed at that!! Suckers. Even terrorist!

Ooh! Who are this fools comparing sleep to death That's whats paining me some Nigerians dont know what they have to the extent they compare themselves with Ghana. When i found out this people dont really like us i stopped being nice. Chatting with a Ghanian i said you guys stand no where wherever we are you will always be behind because you guys are with the mentality of "lets do this before Nigeria" so would be the first.  And to hell!! We aint racing we get there when we want and we dont hate you,we hate how you hate us. Ghana must go i think you guys will never forget that.
