Politics / The Day President Jonathan Shared Reno Omokri Twitter Page by spora1: 7:03am On Dec 16, 2011
I was on my facebook page this morning and before I could say Holy Patience, guess what dropped: Goodluck Jonathan shares a link.

Whose link? Reno Omokri's.  Oh my Oh.

The other time, it was the facebook page of one of his assistants that the President was sharing, now it was that of Reno. I am sure, it will be my Google page one day. At least my pastor has told me. . . .lol

Why are some guys promoting themselves at the expense of the image of this man? Why?

No wonder people just visit his page to laugh these days.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Yakubu Joins Blackburn Rovers by spora1: 8:13am On Sep 01, 2011
@Mukina2

I guess that news is misleading, as I think the deal did not scale through.

The deal was neither confirmed by Everton, Blackburn or FA.

This is the complete deadline deals as far as premiership is concerned.

Osama bin Laden is dead, sources told CNN Sunday night.

Congressional and administration sources say U.S. officials have the body of bin Laden, who was reportedly killed in Afghanistan. The details around his death were not immediately available.

Politics / Re: ''Enough Is Enough''- Jonathan Warns Perpetrators Of Violence - Full Speech by spora1: 6:27am On Apr 22, 2011
Atreides:

This is why i will never serve in the North. Everything about them is negative. There's this Igbo guy who was serving there,and he was killed. He woulda begged for his life,anyone would've,and they still killed him. How can a human being pick up a knife and butcher his fellow human being to pieces? How? What spirit of savagery and bestiality possesses those people?

I Will NEVER serve in the North,IJN. My life is too important to me. GEJ's words are all well and good but they do not and cannot bring back the lives that have been lost. It's too little too late. Everybody knew that PDP was gonna win,and we also know that if Pdp won,there would be reprisals in the North. if GEJ was really serious about saving lives,wouldn't he have made prior arrangements? Deployed military/Police forces to the North to protect Corpers or something? All these things shoulda been done earlier. Anyway it's not too late,buh i hope GEJ's words translate to action.

And Every Hausa person who has murdered another innocent human being will NEVER have peace in his/her life,IJN. Amen.

You write well. I have a project for you in case you are interested.
TV/Movies / Fire Razes Another A I T Studio by spora1: 2:31am On Apr 04, 2011
What is exactly the problem with this media house?

The African Independent Television and Raypower Radio station studios in Jos, Plateau State, were on Sunday razed by fire


Eye witnesses said that the fire started at about 9.55 a.m. from the ninth floor of the Joseph Gomwalk House where the media organisation is located.


Mrs. Folashade Oshodi, an AIT presenter who was on duty at the time of the incident told the News Agency of Nigeria that she was presenting a programme in the studio when the fire started.


She said, “The person coming in to take over from me by 10 a.m. suddenly rushed into the studio while I was presenting a programme to tell me that the building was on fire.


“Immediately, he raised an alarm and the security guard, the engineer and myself tried to put off the fire but it soon overwhelmed us.


“At that point, we called the fire service but before they arrived, the whole floor was engulfed,’’ she said.


Oshodi said that the station’s transmitter as well as the radio and the television studios were completely burnt.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Solution To Cheating In Football. Ask The Player by spora1: 3:34pm On Nov 12, 2009
Harry Redknapp proffers solution to cheating in Football. Do you support him?

Say a referee is unsure whether, for instance a goal has been scored with a hand. He asks the player if it was indeed handball. If the player admits to an offence, it's a free-kick to the other side and no card is given. But if he says no offence was committed and TV replays later proved he was lying, then he should be hammered with a FIVE-MATCH ban and NO appeal on the sentence.


IT'S said the camera never lies. Well I think it's time to find out if players are big enough never to tell porkies as well.
Time and again players are caught by video replays breaking the rules when the referee has missed the offence.

There's the penalty that got away or was given, the punch that hit but was missed or the handball that was never seen by the man in the middle.

But there it is for all to witness later on, with blame being heaped on the ref for cocking up and even louder demands for the villains to be punished after the event.

Well, here is an idea to help stamp out cheating in football - why don't we just ASK players whether they are guilty or not?

It's simple, it's direct and not as daft as some might think it is.

I can hear you saying if players have already cheated, then they would lie about it too.

Well, I have a nasty little sting in the tail.

Say a referee is unsure whether, for instance a goal has been scored with a hand. He asks the player if it was indeed handball.

If the player admits to an offence, it's a free-kick to the other side and no card is given.

But if he says no offence was committed and TV replays later proved he was lying, then he should be hammered with a FIVE-MATCH ban and NO appeal on the sentence.

A few years back, I can remember Robbie Fowler wagging his finger in the air when the referee gave a penalty in his favour and the former England striker had the decision overturned.

Wouldn't it be great if EVERY player demonstrated such honesty?

I'm told this idea of asking players has already been part of an experiment trialled in Germany but with a three-game ban the punishment.

I'd hit players harder than that, to make sure their absence damaged the team because of their fibs.

Asking players if a penalty is just or a foul has been committed is something that routinely goes on at my training ground all the time.

It's impossible to keep up with the pace of play - the switch from defence to attack is lightning quick and unlike at Premier League stadiums, we don't have the use of instant video playback.

This is where I feel fourth officials should be of use, rather than telling managers they are half a yard outside the technical area.

For the life of me, I don't understand why video technology is not used to help officials reach decision DURING games.

Retrospective punishments are fine by me but why not dish out the punishment immediately, so the offending team are hit on the day?

Robert Huth wasn't punished by the referee when his arm caught Matthew Upson of West Ham when they were at Stoke recently.

Video evidence was later ruled on by the FA, who banned Huth for three games. That's all well and good but the advantage of Stoke being without a very good defender went to teams other than the Hammers, who lost on the day.

All that was needed was for the fourth official to look at the video and within seconds a decision could have been made.

Closer to home is Sunderland's visit to White Hart Lane last Saturday when a lightning-quick break by Darren Bent took him into our penalty area.

Keeper Heurelho Gomes came out, and over went Benty. I was convinced at the time referee Kevin Friend made the correct decision when he pointed to the spot.

There were some on-field differences of opinion and before the penalty was taken I'd watched the incident on the TV monitor near the pitch and it was clear Gomes, who was also booked, hadn't touched him.

If my mind can be changed and made up correctly within seconds even before the kick was taken, then why can't the fourth official relay that message to the man in the middle?

I cannot understand the reluctance to use video technology from the touchline. What is there to be afraid of?

Use FIVE officials is UEFA's answer to debatable decisions. Well, five officials got it wrong at Fulham recently when the wrong player was initially sent off.

While I'm at it, I'd like to nail another myth about diving.

No manager in my long experience has ever told a player to try to con a referee by diving.

Referees are also pilloried for not keeping up with play but the speed of athletic footballers makes it impossible for them and they have to make decisions from 40 yards away.

You can bet your last penny there would be a camera nearer to a flashpoint than the referee - so why not use them?

And if the people who run the game don't fancy that, then the referee can always ask.

, Didier Drogba was rested mid-week to give him extra time to recover from his injury and Chelsea’s top scorer will undoubtedly come back in to the starting line-up to partner Nicolas Anelka, who may be deployed a little deeper.
