We're looking forward to the return of your site, Oleku. Make sure you have a revenue plan this time.

It's a pity that those garri sellers will always vote for economically illiterate candidates who make impossible promises.

Badman888:
Yea nice move, but why don't the women play a total game of 5 sets to make it equal?

Good point, but wouldn't a longer game of tennis be much more boring? Maybe the men should reduce their to 3!

NFC, what part of "that's just a perception you guys need to overcome" don't you understand?

If this is Nigeria's first real estate portal, what about www.ip4properties.com ?

I see it more as a triumph of capitalism - a recognition of the fact that the woman's game is as lucrative as the men's game, thanks to interesting players like Venus and Serena Williams who are always in the public eye.

Because their daddies have earned the right to pass the money they worked hard for to their children.

The All England Club today announced that it will be offering equal prize money across the board to both men and women players with effect from and including the 2007 Championships.

Announcing the decision, Tim Phillips, Chairman of the All England Club, said: “Tennis is one of the few sports in which women and men compete in the same event at the same time. We believe our decision to offer equal prize money provides a boost for the game as a whole and recognises the enormous contribution that women players make to the game and to Wimbledon. We hope it will also encourage girls who want a career in sport to choose tennis as their best option. In short, good for tennis, good for women players and good for Wimbledon.”

Phillips continued: “When Wimbledon pioneered Open Tennis in 1968, the Men’s Singles Champion, Rod Laver, won £2,000, while Billie Jean King, the Ladies’ Singles Champion, won £750, only 37.5% of the men’s prize.

“Over the years, we have progressively increased the ladies’ prize money, so that last year Amélie Mauresmo, the Ladies’ Champion, received £625,000 – 95% of the money received by Roger Federer, the Men’s Champion.

“As in every other year, the Committee has again analysed all the relevant information and then made a judgement. This year, taking into account both the overall progression and the fact that broader social factors are also relevant to the decision, they have decided that the time is right to bring this subject to a logical conclusion and eliminate the difference. We believe this positive step will be widely welcomed.”

Prize money levels for the 2007 Championships have yet to be decided and will be announced in late April.

Moved to Technology Market

Moved to Job section.

I see that they are already announcing the next season of the show. Is it over now?

Just visit the Job section regularly.

Pounded Yam and Egusi is my Favorite, I will pound myself if need be

I doubt it. Something magical happens when you pound yam yourself - you lose your appetite for pounded yam!
With every bone in your body aching, you'll suddenly realise that pounded yam is not worth the trouble!!

That's just a perception you guys need to overcome: people feel it's just like West African Idol, only more boring.

I really want to support this initiative, but you can't launch a Chelsea fan club when you can't even spell the name.

That is tantamount to gross promiscuity,

Not true. Expressing "love" is not promiscuity as long as you don't sleep with every person you "love".

So, girls, apart from being the "owner" of Nairaland, what's so special about him that y'all are tripping for?

I think it's my undeniable sexiness.

What are the benefits of joining your honorable "Chease" fan club?

Her being a widow is not the problem. If your sister becomes a widow, would you ask her to stay single forever?
The potential problem is that we're not sure about how this woman feels about your cousin. Why not find out?

communication !! communication !! communication

What if her husband is not the type that is interested in any form of communication except obedience to orders?

I don't enjoy telling women what to do. I don't enjoy forcing people to do anything they don't want to do.

Leave her alone. She's entitled to love as many men as possible until one of them falls for her.

I could consider getting a TV capture card for that purpose, but the time is just not there.

Shed it on, my sister. Tears are good for the body. After crying over a movie, one feels so calm and relaxed!

Let's create a new thread for that purpose. Thanks!

I like hearing my name. My name represents my uniqueness. I'm not just any "darling", but I'm Seun.

Ok, actually, you can, but it's not the easiest way to make money. Visit www.problogger.net

Who is organizing the Rugby league?

I don't think it's poor taste to tell people exactly what you want: we need to abandon this culture of hypocrisy.

Aids kills but I have not heard of anyone dying from it but rather from 'Aids related illness'. I think same applies to malaria.

Oh please, I've not heard of anyone dying from "malaria-related illness" either. (HIV attacks the immune system.)

Yes, because a civilised man will not suffer his wife to pound yam when yam powder does the job perfectly well.

It is not an award-winning movie.
