Tolexander:
Though the aim is to make the players play at their most brilliant levels, won't this make the players play individual football, spoiling the game.

Remember, "too much skills, spoil the show"

I still believe in award given/promised to the team than individual.
With my little experience of the game I can tell you that the best wa to shine in football is to keep things extremely simple: Don't try to overdo things. Professionals certainly know this especially international level players.

okay look at number 2
this man has an agenda it's as simple as that, he can't just wake up one morning and decide to carry over 40 guns into an hotel room and start firing at people. so if according to you a terrorist must have an agenda then this man is a terrorist

lastly try to refrain from abusive words, just because we have difference of opinion on a particular issue does not make us enemies.
He doesn't necessarily have to have an agenda. He could be insane.

Also by agenda, i mean an outcome, usually political, that one would trying to achieve through the means of terror.
Celebrities › Re: Tagbo Umeike Died After A Drinking Competition; Davido Promised N200k - Witness by SmartyPants(m): 10:39am On Oct 06, 2017
wunmi590:
All because of 200k and Iphone 8, you just wasted your life, what happened to when their life theirs hope?


I had a conversation with a friend who was actually admitted to general hospital Lagos island, he told me he saw when they brought in tagbo's corpse around 5-6am.

He said tagbo was brought in with his own car, and his corpse was at the back of the car, so immediately they entered the general hospital, they abandoned the corpse and the car there, so some people were thinking may be they actually did that to quickly collect card first, so as to rush the corpse inside to be attended to, but later they discovered that those people brought another car that was parked outside and drove off, leaving his corpse and his car in general hospital compound.

So sad that davido's boys could be so heartless, that they can't even take proper care of his corpse, they were in a rush not to be implicated.

I think davido needs to be questioned more with his boys, am not hating, davido is one of my biggest artist, but he needs to face the law, if found guilty.
Guilty of what exactly?
Business › Re: WHO Rejects Cigarette Manufacturer’s $960m Anti-smoking Foundation by SmartyPants(m): 8:07am On Oct 06, 2017
tripleY:
Its like killing what they survive with, it makes no sense.
It makes a lot of sense.

1. Smoking is addictive so everyone knows smoking is going to continue.

2. Smokers know that smoking is bad for them. They are aware that the cigarette companies are killing them

3. So this cigarette company decides to try to show its customers that it does care (which it doesn't)

The big punchline:

4. And along the way, hopefully convince people who want to start smmoking, that they have found some ways to make smoking safe.
Celebrities › Re: Davido And Caroline Danjuma Invited By Police Over Tagbo Umeike’s Death by SmartyPants(m): 9:06pm On Oct 05, 2017
If the guy drank himself to death then why is it an issue who was or wasn't with him.at any time that night?


Its entirely inconsequential, since being around a person drinking to death is mot an offence.

And neither is it a legal requirement that you must wait with a person you dropped off at the hospital...

Nothing story

RIP to the dead
Politics › Re: Aishah Ahmad Appointed As New CBN Deputy Governor By Buhari by SmartyPants(m): 6:12pm On Oct 05, 2017
brainpulse:
She is qualified for the job, period.
No... this is abnormal now.

I am not one to play politics over trivial issues but the number of Northern names we keep hearing getting appointments is alarmingly disproportionate.

I have always been inclined to support Buhari's anti-corruption rhetoric, however it seems as though this man wants to play on our collective Southern intelligence.

How can it be that only Northerners are qualified?

As trivial as this issue seems, this is the last straw for me. Buhari must go come 2019.

1. Mr smartypants just look at what you typed, 'the lack of an agenda means he is a MERE mass murderer' so a mass murderer is now mere abi

2. Also the fact that his agenda is not known for now doesn't mean he has no agenda. so going by your post he is a terrorist.

3. finally to all those saying terrorism has to be religiously inclined check google abeg.a
1. Read my comment in relation to the perspective of the person i was quoting, who seemed to believe the charge of terrorism is higher than mass murder or other applicable charges. Besides, the question of the relative weight of an offence is a moralistic question, and i am entitled--in entirety--to consider mass murder less weighty than terrorism, in my own opinion!

2. How you arrived at the conclusion that the absence of a known agenda equals proof of an agenda will remain a mystery for generations to come. You need a knock on your head. I said a person who has no agenda cannot be labeled a terrorist, you rightly noted that he may have had an agenda which merely remains unknown for now. The logical conclusion therefore, is that until an agenda is discovered, he must be addressed as a mass murderer.

3. This has nothing to do with anything i have said so why mentioning it in relation to my comment?

Are you well?

Of course they are protecting their interests. Whose interests should they be protecting? Is that not the foundation of society, exchanges of mutually beenficial interests?

Does a baker give you bread out of concern for your own interest or his?

The US presence in Niger is of benefit both to the US and to Niger. That is healthy diplomacy.

see all the essay you're writing to justify US presence... US iss nut wurld power...

how do you think it will look if US soldiers are in a peaceful country... they are the ones that created "tierrorissm" in order to have excuses to be in those countries..
Hey! Don't quote me if you are not certain that you have applied your brain before commenting.

The article states that the slain US soldiers were in a convey along with Nigerien troops, which means they are there either by invitation or by acceptance of an offer to help.

The US is not a rival to African countries so we have no reason not to accept their help in anyway. Or you mean to say the US is attempting to conquer Niger? Of all countries? With a military presence of less than 100 men?

In fact, what exactly is your point??

Education › Re: World Teachers Day: Who Is That Teacher You Can Never Forget? by SmartyPants(m): 11:42am On Oct 05, 2017
Mr L**

Was a great maths teacher, and the first person who could ever get me to take an interest in the subject by making me realize i could actually be very good at it. Sadly, he ran into some serious trouble later on. cry

Mr Kennedy

I was a student with a poor track record but Mr Ken saw something in me. I transferred to his class and within the first two weeks he drew me aside and told me "you are the best student by far, you need to work hard". This was one of the defining moments in the birth of the smartypants.

Mr Ray.

Thanks to my constant, well-meant corrections, Mr Ray angrily named me, Mr-know-it-all. Thanks to Mr. Ray, i learnt that people in authority don't always belong there.

Mr. Marrah

The worst teacher i have ever had by far. This guy would only read out notes in class, which i have come to realize was merely a strategy to pass the time, since he had nothing to actually say. Oh, and the notes were copied, mostly verbatim, from the textbook.

Honorable mention to Mr Majid, our Physic teacher from Ghana, who would always show up with his breath smelling of alcohol, wearing the same clothes, and some hideous yellow socks. Majid was a cool, young guy though--and a brilliant teacher--and students loved him. Our grade was generally unruly but Majid was feared because it was known that he wouldn't take nonsense even from those who fancied themselves to be bad boys.

2. So all those things for America movie Use to happenhuh cut-cee of those pictures.

3. What qualifies someone to be called terrorist? because that man is a terrorist..

4. Light were switched off in Paris France abi? Racists... when mudslide killed over 300 people in West Africa. most countries ignored them.. same with bama.. Syria..etc..
the death toll of world trade centre is the same as Ikeja cantonment... but it seems some people are more important than others.

R.I.P though
The lack of an agenda means he is a mere mass murderer, not a terrorist.

Really, it has a bit less to do with raw intelligence for me, and more to do with being philosophical.

When I say i want an intelligent girl, i am looking for someone who likes to think things through, has interesting opinions, can make & counter a logical argument.

I'm not so interested in her CGPA although a girl bring home F's would be extremely undesirable.

I can already see those championship sides screaming .......Ah una wan kee us! grin

On a more serious note, such a playoff might be very difficult to arrange (I can already see championship sides screaming about how it is unfair that the outsiders get a bye into the EPL at their expense).

Some might even suggest Barca starts from League 2 and work their way up, like all the other hardworking clubs (eg Watford and Wigan once upon a time).
Lol...well, life is not fair

Well, Swansea and Cardiff

1.Were original members of what is the Football league since the late 19th century

2.They also came up to the Premiership via promotion, not by just joining.
Okay but also in the Rangers and Celtic examples they also were not going to join the premier league directly.

And if a team like Barca is available to join the premier league then it's really very simple: all they may be asked to do is enter the championship promotion playoffs with the top 3 championship teams.

The pedigree the Barca brings, the premier league would welcome them with open arms
Sports › Re: Barcelona Could Join Premier League If Catalonia Gains Independence by SmartyPants(m): 12:58pm On Sep 29, 2017
9jakohai:
Not going to happen.

Few years ago....Rangers and Celtic of Scotland tried to join EPL....and the EPL management said no.

Even with clubs like Barca and Espanyol in the mix....I doubt. Many English clubs in the EPL don't like the idea of a 20 team league...as that means more games and tired players, and bad performances in money-spinners like the Champions League and the Europa cup.
As i understand it, the Rangers and Celtic proposal was not about them joining the premier league, it was about them forming some form of new division.

I see no reason the premier league would kick against it since they already have Swansea and Cardiff (at a lower level), both welsh clubs.

Nairaland General › Re: 10 Things That White People Don’t Like About Nigerians By Aroms Aigbehi by SmartyPants(m): 11:51am On Sep 28, 2017
I am struggling to see the relevance of this post. undecided

From the get go, if is impossible to prove that the group of people carelessly referred to as "the whites" actually hate Nigerians. Maybe some of them do.

Secondly, why is this something we should be concerned about?

And why does the OP feel the need to offer explanations on behalf of "the whites"? Even throwing in the fact that he is married to one in order to make the Nigerian reader respect him more.

Sounds like this black man has been whitewashed!
