chris365: http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2007/apr/13/national-13-04-2007-04.htm. in case it doesn't connect. that was before the election in 2007 when the US suspected Obasanjo of trying to rig the election, and then threatened sanctions.
that's another proof.
you know dude, it would help if you back up your senseless rants with facts. cos my 9 year old nephew is having a laugh here .
so you call threatening with sanctions diplomatic posturing? you've seen too many action films. counter my arguments with facts. as i have done, and stop behaving like a bush man.
you need to seriously check the missile technology deal we almost had.. i remember it was Atiku who had that meeting with the North Koreans.
or did you have cable then?
abi them no teach you how to present your facts for school wey you go? (that's if you went sef)
you sound like someone who was schooled in a beer parlor.

and you still haven't proven why we shouldn't look for another market aside from US. na this one i go take fall your hand olodo

and don't worry, it's my small nephew that will reply you next time. you too low for me too dey stress my hands

U don't cease to amaze me.

U claim to have facts yet u havnt given me figures of d trade volumes btw naija and d US and naija and brazil.


Do that research and come back.

I see u still dnt knw wat sanctions mean. Just google it. It won't cost u anything.

So according to u, we shd unplug from our largest business partner cos of ur fear of wat will happen in 20 yrs?

It was dis kind of igbotic reasoning dt made biafra lose d civil war in d first place.

And bros pls u still havnt told me how brazil's economic association will pay us beta dan the US.


U shd look foolish to ur nephew right about now.

usbcable: Coming from a Saddist Columnist.
Adrian never rights about anything positive. always against any thing big.
he is always writing and attacking jose at every turn as if mou stole something from him.
He simply hates mourinho just as you. so you bringing up that article is actually pointless.


No wonder someone said you too don dey "KICK".

Bros...u re beginning to sound like Nigerian politicians. So cos pple give u facts and figures to show mou underperformed, u say they hate him.

How come pple don't hate sir alex, guardiola, del bosque, Klopp or heynches.

Pep won 7 trophies in 2 seasons with mou and mou won 3 in 3 seasons.

And wats so special bout 100 points? Even Tito is set to equal dt record.

Pellegrini had 96 points with even lower quality of players!

And u want us to believe d madrid hierachy re sooo happy with his performance yet they 'sack' him?

Bros...have u seen a club dt wud say bad tins about their outgoing coach? Or re u a learner?

chris365: if after this you don't realize that your parents have wasted a lot of money sending you to school, then wahala don dey be that.
didn't US and Britain threaten sanctions and aid withdrawal when our senate debated the same sex marriage bill? why do you think that bill has not passed house of rep by now, not to talk of it getting to the president.
during Obasanjo's regime in 2001, Nigeria sought to partner with North Korean to help us develop our own missile technology, the US government threatened us with sanctions and the idea was dropped.
so my guy, we've been threatened twice and those are just threats that were made publicly. as far as i know there must have been others that were issued privately.
dude, are sure you are enlightened? cos you sound to me like a bush man with access to internet
you now see how ignorant you are.

Lol. D idiott doesn't even knw d difference btw threatenin to withdraw aid and sanctions.


Bros...google the two...and come back to apologize for shaming ur parents on NL.

And ur senselessness also doesn't seem to comprehend dt thereis wat is called diplomatic posturing.


Can't waste time on u...u sound dull.

chris365: dude, are you listening to yourself. so you would advise that we hold on to US that threatens us with sanctions at the slightest provocation, to emerging powers that just wanna do business with us without being the bully? you sound more like a novice or a proud ignorant person. do your research properly before insulting someone else for saying the truth.
but then again na mental slavery still dey worry you

lol...

This idiat doesnt realise that the international community only threaten sanctions to erring states...

If you wanna prove that you aintas stupiid as your comment, please tell me the last time US threatened Nigeria with sanctions...was it under a democracy?

NL is free so i understand its free to display ignorance and senselessness...

Symphony007: success, i won't insult you as i'm a teen and i don't know your age. You have'nt heard that by 2020, the u.s will be the largest producer of oil in the world..when that happens where will nigerian oil go to? You see where brazil comes in? And the need for us to diversify our economy!! You see me as a government apologist, why should i be for a government i lay critisim against regularly. but i consider myself a realistic nigerian.

P/s: i apologise for previous insults.

Apology taken.

Apology also given.

But truth is...this government is really poor and unfair to Nigerians.

Truce?

Symphony007: are you so dull to realise that the u.s is declining? Nigeria must partner with countries that are like her. Growing! Like brazil whoes president was in aso rock a few months ago.

choi! Symphony!


I ve always said that if the govt must use apologists...at least they should @ least use intelligent ones!

You 've proven again that you are irredeemably lacking in intelligence.

Biko...according to what research or statistics do you have it that the US is declining?

And according to what research do you have it that Brazil is more beneficial to our economy...

Use your brains small na. Google the largest importer of Nigeria's oil...when you get the answer, flog ursef and tell your brain that it should have added it up that its in Nigeria's interest to associate with the US.


But...

We both know your brain isnt capable of sometin like that.


So...

I expect you to quote this post and say some more stupid than you have said previously...


I just love reading your replies...makes me appreciate having a functional brain.

Symphony007: an obama visit today is worthless my dear, is this not the same obama that visited burma where the government is cheering on the massacre of muslims? Lately the only head of state to visit ghana is the criminal president of iran,ahmejinada meanwhile nigeria has welcomed, dilma rouseff, angela merkel, david cameron, indonesian president, zuma, mevedev and many more, these are the countries that mattar, not a declining power.

lmao! so becos the United States doesnt like your ways, they become a declining power? choi! government apologists will not fail to gimme comedic relief...

So which of the countries whose leaders you mentioned is a rising super power?

Wahala90: You can't make any sense until you look at the pre Mourinho seasons. You can't make any sense at all considering these two statements:
"The important thing is that we have recovered the level that we didn't have before." - Perez
"The team has improved in Mourinho's three years of stay and we are happy." - Perez

You dont take over a team of superstars like madrid and not be expected to play better. even pellegrini got 96 points from the same team.

Ranieri got to the semifinal with a chelsea team not up to 30% of this current madrid quality.

Try as you may, there's no escaping that Mou has been a monumental flop!

[quote author=baby-boy]Tito and Pep has the same team....... yes he lost to Athletico, Madrid didnt get to the semi's of the CL since 2002, but 3 times under Jose![/quote]This is the lamest argument of the year!

Tito and Pep's team aint same. same players buh a different maager and different team dynamics. even a baby knows that the teams are different, thats y pep's team neverlost by more than a goal in 5 years oga.

Madrid getting to three semifinals...so what? over the same period, barca were in three semifinals and won it once!

Also, with a team not as good as this one, Vicente Del Bosque won 2 champs league trophies within 4 years! read this part of his profile on wikipedia;

"In his four seasons in charge, Del Bosque ushered the club through its most successful spell in modern history, having steered the club to two UEFA Champions League titles in 2000 and 2002, two domestic La Liga titles in 2001 and 2003, a Spanish Supercup in 2001, a UEFA Super Cup in 2002, the Intercontinental Cup in 2002 as well as finishing in the last four of the UEFA Champions League every year he was in charge. Not since the great Madrid side of the 1950s and 1960s that had Alfredo Di Stéfano and Ferenc Puskás did the club succeed so consistently. Del Bosque was famed for his humble, patient and unassuming style[3] which saw him manage the club as it underwent a policy during Florentino Pérez's tenure as club President that was known as Los Galácticos, where the world's best and most marketable stars were signed for the club beginning with Luís Figo and including David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo. Del Bosque's management was successful in uniting the many different modern player egos in his star studded team: in the Del Bosque era Real managed 104 wins out of a possible 186 in his time as coach of Madrid. Despite the level of success, many players – in particular the so-called Galácticos – were bought without the input of Del Bosque amid often made allegations that the Real Madrid hierarchy (in particular Pérez and general manager Jorge Valdano) had more control over transfer policy, team selection and other aspects of club that minimalised the level of control Del Bosque had during his time as manager

Shockingly, Real Madrid decided not to renew Del Bosque's contract in 2003, just a day after he won the club its 29th Liga title and a week after the club signed David Beckham.



Mind you, Del Bosque played champagne football and not the thug like footballrs mou developed.

So wat exactly is special about this special one?

i dont undersand thetheory of amnesty and force @ same time...doesnt mke sense...

Jona is confused!

tomber: They will someday beg to visit...
What do we need his visit for in d first place

Typical Nigerians...

Blowing hot even when its clear to a blind man they are on a wrong path...

even if the Devil ruled Nigeria, some fools will defend him on NL.

omar22: Name me a better Barcelona team than the one Jose faced?

Pep's team was better than tito's team yet tito's team is 13 points ahead of your 'only one'...

The 'only one' who lost to atletico in 14 years...

Wahala90: If Mou failed at Madrid, then Wenger is a Gabbage in Arsenal.

I dont like wenger...

But if wenger had the same players mou had @ madrid...trophies will flow like water...

i chukle when i hear people say mou broke barca's dominance.

Mou was in spain for 3 years and won 3 trophies. In the same period of time...Barca won 7 trophies (5 by pep in mou's first season, copa in mou's 2nd season and league under Tito in mou's 3rd season).

If that translates to breaking barca's dominance, pls someone shud come break Barca's dominance some more!

drpompay: Ah, lets be truthful, how many coaches in the world can be said to have failed after
1) coming 2nd in d league, not just to any team but Barca with Messi at his best until the tail end of d season.
2) getting to the semi final of d champions league
3) getting to d final of copa de laroy after knocking out Barca
4) winning d Spanish super cup by defeating Barca
5) defeating Barca in all d clasicos except 1 (which was a draw) even with a 100% fit Messi
LETS BE FACTUAL, ONLY MOURINHO (THE SPECIAL THOUGH ARROGANT ONE) CAN AND WILL EVER BE SAID TO HAVE FAILED COS "HE IS SIMPLY THE BEST"
As d stake for judging him cannot be compared to that for any other.

This has to be a joke right?



If you think dont tink mou failed @ madrid, then you have absolutely no right to say Mancini failed at City.

They both wont similar no of trophies. Same types too- a league, an FA cup/copa del rey and a charity shield/supercopa.


Yet Mancini was sacked...and Mou's team was more expensive with a CR7 in it.

How do you even explain the fact that Tito who was managing the team for the first time and was away for cancer treatment for a large part of the season was able to beat 'the Only One' with 13 points?


In three years mou won 3 trophies. In the two yrs guardiola spent with him, guardiola won 7 trophies.

You still think he is special?


Or the fact that Klopp used a team collectively worth $45m to beat his $500m team makes mou the special one?


Mou is indeed special...a 'Special' failure...

please do u have pictures?

Where is dis located? Which area?

Where is haruna street?w

I know her personally..someone recently attacked whiz on him breaking up wiv her and his defense was dt he was so young then he didn't knw wat luv meant.

D girl is one down to earth person and humble too so she cud and did date wizzy...

Do you know why he was bragging? cos he was trying to let you know you could improve your pitiful lifestyle with some money he had made...

You all know or should her. she was Wiz's first girlfriend and was with him when the going was tough. this half case girl was featured in his first video- "Holla @ your boy"


Now whiz is fully blown and has decided to leave her...typical of men who forget their roots. smh

The question i have is..."did your sis eat the food?"

If she did (and i suspect you also ate part of it) then you are either a girl with a poverty mentality or you are what is called a hungry girl...

Grow up.

Manchester United have confirmed Everton boss David Moyes as the successor to Sir Alex Ferguson on a six-year contract.



Ferguson announced on Wednesday that he would retire from management at the end of the season after 26-and-a-half years at Old Trafford and Moyes, 50, was immediately installed as favourite to replace him after a flurry of bets.


Moyes said of his move to the Premier League champions: "It's a great honour to be asked to be the next manager of Manchester United. I am delighted that Sir Alex saw fit to recommend me for the job. I have great respect for everything he has done and for the football club.


"I know how hard it will be to follow the best manager ever, but the opportunity to manage Manchester United isn't something that comes around very often and I'm really looking forward to taking up the post next season.


"I have had a terrific job at Everton, with a tremendous chairman and board of directors and a great set of players. Between now and the end of the season, I will do everything in my power to make sure we finish as high as possible in the table.


"Everton's fantastic fans have played a big part in making my years at Goodison so enjoyable and I thank them wholeheartedly for the support they have given me and the players. Everton will be close to me for the rest of my life."


Out of contract in the summer, Moyes has consistently led Everton to top half finishes in the Premier League despite operating on a shoestring budget. He was chosen as the new United boss by Ferguson himself, who will move upstairs as a director and ambassador of United.


Announcing his successor, Ferguson said: "When we discussed the candidates that we felt had the right attributes we unanimously agreed on David Moyes. David is a man of great integrity with a strong work ethic. I've admired his work for a long time and approached him as far back as 1998 to discuss the position of assistant manager here. He was a young man then at the start of his career and has since gone on to do a magnificent job at Everton. There is no question he has all the qualities we expect of a manager at this club."


United legend Sir Bobby Charlton, a club director, added: "I have always said that we wanted the next manager to be a genuine Manchester United man. In David Moyes, we have someone who understands the things that make this such a special club. We have secured a man who is committed to the long-term and will build teams for the future as well as now. Stability breeds success.


"David has tremendous strength of character and recognises the importance of bringing young players through and developing them alongside world class talent. At United, I think David will be able to express himself. I'm delighted he has accepted and I'm looking forward to working with him."

Ed Woodward, who replaces David Gill as chief executive this summer, added: "In David Moyes, we have secured the services of an outstanding manager who has all the skills to build on the phenomenal legacy in place today. I have no doubt that he will bring an energy and commitment to deliver winning football that is part of the fabric of this club. In this respect, he is cut from the same cloth as the Old Trafford greats who go before him.


"I have been very impressed by David's personal and managerial traits, which reflect the Manchester United values. I have no doubt that he will embrace, and soon become an integral part of, United's unique culture and heritage."


Both managers will remain in their positions for the final two games of the season, with Ferguson set for an emotional farewell at Old Trafford when United play Swansea City and the club are presented with the 13th Premier League trophy of his tenure. His final, and 1,500th game with the Red Devils will be at West Bromwich Albion.


Moyes' last match at Goodison Park as Everton boss comes against West Ham on Sunday before he bows out against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. He will officially take charge of United on July 1 after the expiry of his contract with Everton.


Wigan manager Roberto Martinez, Swansea's Michael Laudrup and Celtic boss Neil Lennon have already emerged as early candidates for the job at Everton.


A statement released on the club's official website read: "Everton can confirm that David Moyes will leave the club at the end of the season. The manager met chairman Bill Kenwright early yesterday evening [Wednesday 8th May] and confirmed his desire to join Manchester United.


"The chairman, on behalf of the club, would like to place on record his thanks to David for the massive contribution he has made to Everton since his arrival in March 2002. He has been an outstanding Manager. During his tenure at Goodison Park, David has taken charge of the team on over 500 occasions including four European campaigns.


"His final two games as Everton manager will be the remaining Premier League matches against West Ham United and Chelsea. Everton officials will start the search for a replacement manager immediately."


Speculation over Moyes' future has grown over the season. He declared in February that he wanted to use his team's performance over the final three months of the season to help him decide whether to stay on at Goodison Park. All attempts to question him on his future after that were met with the response that he would make a decision at the end of the season.


A long-time friend of Ferguson, Moyes was a candidate to become his assistant at Old Trafford after Brian Kidd vacated the role to become manager of Blackburn in December 1998.


The two men met to discuss the role, and Moyes - then in charge of Preston - was interested in making the move, but after nearly two months of deliberation Ferguson instead decided to bring in Steve McClaren, then Derby's first-team coach, at the start of February 1999.


Moyes began his managerial career with Preston in 1998, leading the club up to the second tier in his second year in charge, before succeeding former Manchester United assistant manager Walter Smith at Goodison Park in 2002.


His time with Everton has not resulted in silverware, but he led the club into the top four in 2005 as well as finishing runners-up in the FA Cup in 2009. He shares with Ferguson the record for LMA Manager of the Year awards, earning the accolade in 2003, 2005 and 2009.
