pepe? I don't think so. Against Deportivo, if not for Marcelo they couldve lost that match

True, but judging the team's back line based on the last match won't be fair. Pepe returned about two matches before the Clasico. Carvajal, Pepe and Marcelo all returned recently, the likes of Danilo were holding forte.

come to think of it, RM are porous at the back and Ronaldo always wants to score. Selfish! Arsenal may match them. I support RM too

Madrid porous at the back? Not since Pepe returned. Attack has been slow due to the many injuries. Ronaldo has succeeded and come this far because of his selfishness.

Zinedine Zidane's men are aiming to become the first team to retain the title in its modern form but could face a tricky tie when the draw for the knockout stages is made

Real Madrid fans are eagerly awaiting Monday's Champions League draw with the holders keen to find out who they will face in the last 16 of the competition.

Zinedine Zidane's men finished as group runners-up, meaning they could potentially face a tricky tie, with Arsenal, Juventus and Leicester City all potential opponents.

Ahead of the draw we asked Madrid fans who they wanted to avoid and there was definitely one name on everybody's lips!

Arsenal, Manchester City and Leicester City await their fate as the draw for the Champions League last-16 takes place on Monday.

The Gunners topped Group A ahead of Paris Saint-Germain but still face the daunting prospect of facing either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the next round.

Leicester City also topped their group and as well as Bayern or Madrid, the Premier League champions could potentially meet PSG in the next round.

Meanwhile, Manchester City couldn’t finish above Barcelona in their group, which means Pep Guardiola’s side could get tricky ties against Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund or Juventus.

Can I watch LIVE?
Yes! The draw takes place at around 11am and can be watched live on BT Sport 2 from 10.45am. (Mobdro Users, take note)

Draw rules
No team can play a club they faced in the group stage or a side from the same nation.

Who could Arsenal face?
Benfica, Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, Real Madrid, Porto, Sevilla

Who could Manchester City face?
Napoli, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Monaco

Who could Leicester City face?
Paris Saint-Germain, Benfica, Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, Real Madrid, Sevilla

ARSENAL fans are probably fearing the wurst ahead of the last-16 draw.

The Gunners have finished top of the Champions League group for the first time in five seasons to give themselves a chance of, in theory, swerving the continent’s other big guns.

ARSENAL LAST-16 CONQUERORS
2015-16: Barcelona
2014-15: Monaco
2013-14: Bayern
2012-13: Bayern
2011-12: AC Milan
2010-11: Barcelona

Most likely to face Real Madrid

I don't think it's the church wedding itself that takes 'something' out of the purse, time consuming _ yes, that should be 'cos of marital classes.

People reserve the right to go home after being joined together in church, I have seen people do it.

The reception is where the main money goes down, which wasn't imposed on the couple by the church. Most pastors don't even come there.

Church wedding does take a whole lot and the funniest thing is that it is totally unnecessary. Most churches and couples are forced to redecorate the church to their theme colours while the church would make certain requirements cum requests that are also stressful. Buying gifts just o appreciate the pastor, pack the choir's food, as well as ministers, print church programmes, church photography, etc are just some of the little ways the church drains one's purse.

Reception is where you entertain your guests and appreciate them. The church wedding is inconsequential just as the certificates issued, but most people don't see this as the trend and competition for church weddings increase with each passing day.

Ideally, your traditional wedding first, then a registry to formalize the whole thing before the law, entertain your guests and go for your honeymoon if the money is there. You could choose to go for your Thanksgiving or church blessing afterwards. I keep telling people that there was no teaching of church wedding in the Scriptures but we act it out like our lives depend on it.

And yes, most pastors don't attend receptions because they have been heavily settled immediately after the joining in church.

josite:
stupid ,poor men alone should go for court marriages.if u are wealthy,go for traditional wedding.trust me,im a lawyer.

This is a bit sad. I wonder the kind of lawyer you are, really. The statutory wedding comes second to tradition. Money or not, it is in the place of a man to fulfill the obligations of tradition as required by a woman's family. Failure to do this would mean he 'stole' the woman and could be in trouble when the time comes.

nocosomia:
That's not necessarily true, a female friend who is in an abusive marriage wanted divorce but he was told at the registry that unless there's evidence of life-threatening injuries, court won't Grant her request. Now she ever regretting going for court marriage in the first place

You know, I wasn't looking at it from the aspect of abuse. Most Nigerian men are polygamous in nature. The statutory marriage is feared by most of these men who believe they could get another woman in the nearest future, particularly when they know they are getting married to a woman who understands the law.

About your friend, well, I'm not a lawyer but I understand that abuse vary in marriage. Physical, verbal, emotional and psychological among a host of others. The court might have turned her down because she approached it looking all too 'good' and sharp. All she needs to do is to collect some evidences, alongside witnesses and she's good. Asking for a life-threatening injury is too much from the court.

Perhaps she could try a customary court. The husband might be summoned to give his own side of the story. I'd want to believe she was turned down because her story doesn't add up.

Austin234:
I beg to disagre with u. Church white wedding is not cost demanding, but we impose it on ourselves. After the white wedding which doesnt cost much, u may take on a low key reception or no reception at all

The church wedding is not only demanding but useless and time consuming. Church wedding surely takes something out of your purse.

Raskasal:
Nice posts. What will then be the order of the day, if a venue is to be rent for less hours, I mean totally different from the conventional wedding events

I think she wants to use lesser resources and still have a feel of the typical wedding, hence, her reason for including the reception. Considering the number of persons she said would be in attendance, a 5-hour reception would spell boredom as they would run out programmes, coupled with the fact that she would be asked to pay much for spending 5 hours at the venue.

The programmes for a 3-hour reception would be the same for a 5-hour reception, just that there would be no need to wait over one hour just because the newly weds are changing into an owambe attire. They could get an MC, make a toast, cut their cake, dance, share souvenirs and collect gifts, then feed the guests and everyone is off to their respective homes. If the couple have it in my to travel, then they could the following morning after retiring to an hotel or someone tranquil.

The most important thing is to enjoy her day.

erico2k2:
If I was in that stage of my life I will just go to the registry of a quiet LGA and get it done, why the wahala no point,
I heard some people think the Embassy gives special treatment to you if your cert says IKOYI or mayB that is an International registry as if there is such thing.

You know, I was including the above in my previous post. There is this aura that the Ikoyi registry emits. Beyond the aura, a lot of people have subconsciously added class to it. They believe it is much more classy than other registries in Lagos. Interestingly, the ladies often times get to make the pick. Trust ladies and weddings. They'd always want to stand out even under the scorching sun, just so they could pose with the infamous Ikoyi 'Ministry of The Interior' signboard.

erico2k2:
SO why stress and go to IKOYI then when you can have it done anywhere in Nigeria

If she'd be going on a weekday then she wouldn't have any issues. The yanga and unnecessary shakara of the registrars only pop up on weekends. It's one of the reasons I asked her to go on a Thursday. A very good friend got married on Thursday last week, and she told me she had no hitch or whatsoever.

Ikoyi becomes a disaster when it's used on a weekend.

erico2k2:
I heard that IkOYI is like a mkt place, I have never been there but that must be packed.
For those of you still getting it twisted,
when you hear the word COURT and Marriage in one sentence, it usually means Marriage is over
But REGISTRY and MARRIAGE Means Marriage has just legally began.

Ikoyi is indeed a market place. You tend to see so many to-be couples waiting to be attended to and you get to see the registrars play God. This is way after they have 'taxed' you unnecessarily. The best thing to do is to have the church work on your behalf by bringing a registrar to the church. This doesn't happen with every Tom, Dick and Harry getting married in the church though. It's mostly exclusive to 'mouthed' folks in the church.

gfullmoon:
Grow up sunny boy.
Alimony is also enforceable in church marriages gone sour. So if any man who married through the church should divorce his wife and leave her with lets say 3 kids, do you think the church will just tell you go your way good man, let your ex wife only take care of all the kids?

What makes marriage fail is not Tradition, church neither is it Registry wedding (what most people ignorantly call Court Wedding) but the people involved and how able they were in managing the circumstances leading up to divorce. They are men /women whom have seen 10 times what most divorcees saw and went their separate ways but are in still in their marriage and had worked their ways through such trouble waters through perseverence etc . Please note that Church /Tradition /Registry don't make marriage work, people /couple do, they can only help .

ALIMONY IS NEVER ENFORCEABLE IN THE CHURCH. The church's power is highly restricted to its members and not just everyone. The church could also play a crucial role in working towards reconciling the estranged couple but does not hold the power to make a decree concerning the marriage or outcome. The best the church can do is to advise. I'll paint a scenario.

A married church goer who attends the same church with his wife suddenly becomes distracted and engages in extra marital affairs which does not move him should his wife know about it. Wifey finds out, cries her eyes out but isn't enough as the man is hell bent on leaving with a younger, more beautiful lady. Best case scenario on the church's part would be a reconciliatory move. Should the man insist on not coming back to his wife and kids he might pull out of the church and the power of the church ends there. At that point, they can only ask the woman to involve their families. The church would become a spectator should the man refuse to cater for his family. There's no way they can enforce alimony in this regard. It won't even fly.

UrennaNkoli:
Sorry, had to quote your post to give a few suggestions

We are thinking of going for a court marriage (registry). Please tell me the advantages and disadvantages from the male and female point of view.

Well, court marriage favours the lady more than the man. I'd say it's wise as a lady to take this route, after the traditional though.

Being recognized by law as man and wife means a possible case of misbehaving in the nearest future would be minimal, compared to one that is not backed up by law. Disadvantages? Not really. All it requires is just witnesses and not necessarily parents.

Also, can I achieve these things listed below with a court wedding?

# I don't like too much crowd and noise which are common with owanbe's

Yes. To achieve this, it would be wiser to fix the date on a weekday, preferably Tuesday or Thursday. Friday is closer to Saturday, which means you could have people who would disappear from their workplaces to attend, even without being invited.

# Can a little reception be allowed to hold in the court premises without prohibition?

Not sure about this. Remember it's a court premises. However, I'd advise you look for a place around the registry for your reception. You'll get places around there, I'm sure.

# low Kew wedding in which after the ceremony, everyone goes back to their respective homes
# At most 15 or less number of guests. I don't want too much crowd and paparazzi

Yes, and all the more reason to stick with a weekday. Thursday is even far sef. Just stick with Tuesday or Wednesday and you'd be good.

# A budget of 150k probably for snacks, cake, food and drinks.

Well, that might be quite difficult save you consider the kind of snacks and drinks. For the conventional 'small chops' you might be spending unnecessarily in that area. However, if your budget is targeted at less than 20 persons, then I'd recommend you contract people that are closer to you as they would offer you something valuable for a lesser amount.

# Time : I don't think it should take more than 5 hours and all will be over.

Five hours is TOO MUCH for someone who doesn't want crowd. Most standard receptions don't even stay up to that. Also, put into consideration that most venues rent per hour, particularly in Lagos. So the longer you stay, the more you'd be spending. For me, I'd say 3 hours is enough.

0truthseeker:
Looks like most Christians are banned already for Atheists to take over the thread.

Hmm

Quite fast, I tell you.

promise101:
are you new on NL?

have you asked yourself, why are there many deleted comments on some threads especially the ones that Seun is involved in?

Funny, of course, I'm not. I follow him and I understand that he deletes some of his posts too.

Funjosh:
Please brother is he saying Howmon is not a member of CACCF He doesnt deserved all these jare. He should just give the name of the so called CACCF member once and for all.

How can he give a name when it never happened? A serial liar is what HardMirror is. I wonder what people get from it, though.

Perhaps we just wait tomorrow since it's Sunday, to see what would become of this thread.

analice107:
Hardmirror, You claimed in your thread that you were VERY POPULAR AND RADICAL Christian, hence, everyone knew you on Campus. You were the one who will not let others rest day and night with yout preaching.
Your voice is always heard calling sinners to repentance every morning. You won thousands of souls to God, 300+ of which you know by names.

Hardmirror, the picture you painted indicated that, even your VC wasn't as known as you were on Campus. Pls how is it possible that 5 Christian brethren, (regardless of their fellowships) can not remember you? The same year you were in school, they were in school too.

You even went on talking about a Church and mentioned the name of a Pastor whose son came on here to denounce you.

You made it seem like, Christianity can not recover now that an item like you is lost.

I asked you several questions that if you had tried answering, we would've known if you were even a Christian, talk more of a pastor. But you won't answer any one.

Yeah, the truth came out, you were never a student in that school.



Pulisssssssss. Give my ears rest.

HardMirror cannot tell the truth to save his own life. I think the problem for him is that he doesn't really do much offline, hence, his high and mighty persona on the forum. Good thing more members of the said fellowship are fast coming out.

All I'd say is that Seun should be kind enough to move this to the Front Page of the forum, since members and executive members of the fellowship are fast coming out to clear the air.

Initemi:
Yes...I finally signed up because of you hard mirror..
Now you first said you were active in fellowship and we don't know you on campus? Any way I finished from Futa 2015. I entered 2010

If you are proud to be a backslided pastor to an atheist, show us your pics..and tell us your name...at least for verification if you v been saying the truth

I am a Christian till Christ comes....I don't need to hide my identity...My name is Agbolade Anuoluwapo Temiloluwa for verification....I was my 200 Level coordinator, a choir member,I was 100level coordinator when I was in 400level...to show u some level of my commitment....
Tell us who you are and trace you if try u were....I have senior colleagues, level mate and junior colleagues ASF....TO prove all D's ur statement....futa is a very small school....from obanla to obakekere....
