This the story of a political drama and a love story rolled in to one,let me summerize in quote, this is too excititing.

"There is uneasy tension in the land. A young democracy is about to implode. Someone is killing off corrupt officials one after the other. Panic has set in among the rich and powerful elite. The president’s men and the press scramble to uncover the truth behind the mysterious deaths of public officials. The task of uncovering the mystery is assigned to the president’s most powerful and trusted cabinet member Dupe Ajayi (Joke Silva) and the country’s Inspector of Police, Shobowale (Segun Arinze)

Meanwhile, Kene Alumona (CBA), an unsuspecting young man decides to take a thirty day trip to his homeland after living fifteen years in the USA. Unaware of the political climate in the country, Kene meets and falls for a seemingly quiet and pretty young woman Chinora Onu (Genevieve Nnaji). Kene’s thirty day vacation turns into a hellish ride on the train of political intrigue, revenge, murder, lies and treachery. Are the murders random killings or is someone intentionally killing off these politicians? Who will be next? How far does the rabbit hole go? The answers may surprise you."

Hey this new bomb in the industry,What do you think? ?

England and Real Madrid midfielder Beckham, who has topped the list for the last three years, is now second behind the Barcelona forward and FIFA World Player of the Year.

Ronaldinho enjoyed an annual revenue of 23 million euros ($28.47 million), which added up the salaries, bonuses, sponsorship deals and other sources of income for each player.

Beckham follows with a total of 18 million, down from 25 million the previous year. Brazil and Real Madrid forward Ronaldo is in third place, having pocketed 17.4 million euros while England and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is fourth in the list with an income of 16.1 million euros.

Also top managers and coaches, is Chelsea's Jose Mourinho on 10.9 million euros. England's Sven-Goran Eriksson follows with 6.9 million.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Arsenal Vs Villarreal by sil(m): 11:07am On Apr 24, 2006
Villarreal will have to do what none of Arsenal's European opponents

have managed in the last nine games and breach their rock-solid

defence if they are to deny the English side a place in a first ever

Champions League final.

Villarreal will be without suspended Italian midfielder Alessio Tacchinardi
as well as injured centre-back pairing Gonzalo Rodriguez and
Juan Manuel Pena.

I was pleased with the way we showed character and came back well and I congratulate the team. Now we must prepare for the big show tomarrow.

The full squad of the match is:

Villarreal: 13-Sebastian Viera; 17-Javi Venta, 4-Cesar Arzo, 16-Quique Alvarez, 3-Rodolfo Arruabarrena; 12-Juan Pablo Sorin, 19-Marcos Senna, 6-Josico, 8-Juan Roman Riquelme, 23-Jose Mari, 5-Diego Forlan

Arsenal: 1-Jens Lehmann; 27-Emmanuel Eboue, 28-Kolo Toure, 23-Sol Campbell, 16-Mathieu Flamini; 13-Alexander Hleb, 19-Gilberto, 15-Francesc Fabregas, 7-Robert Pires or 9-Jose Antonio Reyes, 8-Frederik Ljungberg; 14-Thierry Henry

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Steve Gerrard Won Player Of The Year by sil(m): 9:41am On Apr 24, 2006
The liverpool midfielder Steve Gerrard yesterday was named the player of the year by the professional footballer's association(PFA) after liverpool beat chelsea 2-1 on saturday to reach the FA cup finals.

Last year the award went to Chelsea captain John Terry.

Arsenal's Thierry Henry won in 2003 and 2004.

Manchester United's Wayne Rooney won the Young Player of the Year award on Sunday. cheesy

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Alan Shearer's Career Ended Too Soon by sil(m): 7:03pm On Apr 22, 2006
The Newcastle captain Alan Shearer's career is over after scans on his knee injury confirmed his final season has been ended prematurely.


The 35-year-old former England striker was injured in a challenge by Sunderland midfielder Julio Arca in last week's Premiership victory over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

Shearer had scored his 206th - and now final - Newcastle goal from the penalty spot shortly before limping off in that win at Sunderland.

In all he scored 379 goals in 733 club appearances which started at Southampton and also took in a high-profile spell at Blackburn. He also netted 30 times in 63 appearances for England.

As a result, he will not play for the Magpies in the final three remaining Premiership matches of the season


His legendary status at Newcastle worth praising.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Arsenal Ensured A Memorable: by sil(m): 11:55am On Apr 20, 2006
Arsenal ensured a memorable European send-off for Highbury
as they edged towards the Champions League final with 1-0
win over Villarreal.

Kolo Toure  forces in Arsenal's winner

Kolo Toure's first goal of the season just before half-time
proved enough to give the Gunners a slender lead to take
to Spain for the second leg next week,
when they will seek to secure a place in the final of Europe's
elite club competition for the first time in their history.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / RE:Who Is Goin To Play The Finals In The Championship?***** by sil(m): 3:50pm On Apr 18, 2006
That is the question ! Barca are in great form (with Ronaldinho playing) and it is extremly difficult to see any team beating them over 2 legs.

AC Milan didn't impress me in earlier rounds but as always, they are here in the semis and are always a strong force to deal with. Milan's back 4 are not as quick as they were 3 years ago and Barca's speed in attack is what has destroyed all opposers this year. Schevchenko and Kaka are deadly players and will have to try to overcome Barca's hounding defense.

Arsenal are playing like kings in europe as their youth are really stepping up to the plate. Hopefully, that beating Man U put on them (2-0) wouldn't bother them as much as it did when Man U cut their 51 win run last season, and they would continue playing well in europe.

Villareal are the dark horses. New to this stage i don't think anyone knows what to expect. Riquelme and Forlan surely have to play a major role if they are to advance.

My prediction for the final:
Barca vs Arsenal

Remember ! this my prediction comes true and i wish GUNNERS all the best .

GOODLUCK.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Arsenal Will Upset Villareal by sil(m): 3:42pm On Apr 18, 2006
I'm neutral in this game but would like to see arsenal go through to the finals. why u may ask, well to me an all spanish finals is not goin to be exciting as a spanish team vs an english team. i mean if we want a spanish finals lets just watch La Liga. personally no english side waz to make it pass the first knock out round. i'm not bias but look what happened to liverpool, defending champs couldnt even make it. that shows there were not suppose to win. but it would b amazing to see that throphy go bak to england under a different team.

Career / Leadership by sil(m): 1:46pm On Mar 15, 2006
A student sends this intp mailbox:

Teachers are always wondering why their students don't try or why they don't seem interested. It's been my experience that a lot of teachers out there put the minimal effort to construct a good curriculum, and don't put their heart in soul into the subject. What happens is they get students who don't try.
We want to be inspired and led by a leader. Too many times we get these teachers who make class seem like it's torture.
A good class inspires you to want to do more. When a favorite professor recently had to cancel a class, I was sad because that class is my favorite vice. Another class, though, is so bad that it makes me want to change majors.
So if teachers out there are unhappy with the results of what their students are doing, they need to take a look at themselves and ask if they are putting in enough effort to inspire the students.

Education / Where A Student Explains Why He And So Many Of His Peers Act As If They'd Recent by sil(m): 5:36pm On Mar 14, 2006
When I go to class, I slouch, I stare straight ahead with a blank look on my face, and now that I think about it, I probably look ready to keel over. But most of the time, it's not that particular lecture that makes me act like that, it's the way I've 'learned to learn'. I find I can save time studying by paying attention in lecture, and I concentrate best if I don't distract myself. This includes, strangely, facial expressions.
If I'm not concerned about what my face is doing, and zone out everything except the sound of the professor's voice, I can make mental connections easier. When you have 5 hours of lecture a day, it's easier to just focus on learning than on pleasing everyone by interacting with them.
I rarely talk to others when my school day starts at 8 in the morning, until the time I'm done lectures. This way, I don't combine conversations in my mental memory with the sound of the professor's voice. It becomes easier to review for tests.
Education / Some People Are Destined To Be Dropouts Whether We Like It Or Not by sil(m): 5:26pm On Mar 14, 2006
My classes are large, so I mostly use multiple-choice tests. One day, being one question short of a nice round number, I used this question: "The answer to this question is D. Be sure to mark D on your answer sheet." The offered choices were: (A) This is the wrong answer. (B) This is the wrong answer. (C) This is the wrong answer. (D) This is the correct answer. Be sure to mark it on your answer sheet. (E) This is the wrong answer.
About 20% of the students got it wrong. One possibility is that they couldn't read any English. Another is that they didn't care. But one student had the courage to admit that he always marked B for every answer (true, that's what he did) in hopes that all the answers were B.
I have students who want to turn in scrapbooks with newspaper clippings, rather than take exams. These are some of the more motivated ones.
Students with any sort of goal are rarely a problem. Any sort of goal at all.
But really, who cares? You and I know that there is little opportunity for the educated person in the USA today, unless you went to the Right College and know The Right People. Merely studying a useful major isn't good enough, unless you're satisfied with unpaid internships and the like.
The problem is self-caused by the educators. Let the dropouts be dropouts. The only difference will be less employment for the educators. Oh, you say that you don't want that? Well then, it's your own fault, so stop complaining.
Career / I'm A Teacher; My Job Disappoints Me by sil(m): 5:05pm On Mar 14, 2006
Maybe it's the time of the year, but this profession that I supposedly love is not at all what I thought it was. The students are uniformly and universally irritating, shallow, and disinclined to work or thought.

My colleagues, although mostly harmless, are small-minded and petty. The few that publish are insular and invisible on campus. The ones who bluster and shout don't work at all, but tell everyone that they do. They crowd into each other's offices and convince themselves that they're the anointed ones, the one who really care. And when you turn your back, you can be sure they're judging you.

The life of the mind? My day consists of babysitting and busywork. I race from meeting to meeting with committees that literally do nothing but discuss how much better they are than other committees. My main campus-wide committee has met 9 times this year and we've done nothing but killed time and trees.

Maybe I'm foolish for have expecting more. How did this profession attract so many small people?

And I'd talk about the students more if I hadn't already given up on them. In a class of 30, you can be sure that there will be only 1-2 who actually want to work, actually will respect the process enough to listen. The rest are so reluctant to work or read or listen or pay attention, that I might as well be talking to a pack of yowling pups.

So, what on earth am I doing, and why do I care?
