All I want to see at the end of the tourney is Nadal biting the rim/handle of the trophy.
For the ladies, I hope the Russian damsel(Maria) wins it.But wont be suprised if the new M.J-in-the-making, Serena wins it. infact I even expect she gonna win it.

This simply is another thrashing for madrid from the most successful club in the world.
The only difference would be that the mistakes of last season would not be made again i.e no room for a draw
2-3 Away and 2-0 Home
FORZA MILAN!!!

no wonder you came to spain to be spanked by barcelona.
ask berlusconi if he is not sooooo scared right now.

VIVA LOS BLANCOS
******************
even though for some years now we havent gone beyond the round of 16, when crouch wanted to know how strong spurs are he wanted the champions viz Inter and REAL MADRID and no mention of a barcelona was made. So who is the real elder here.

Eeyore:
Sharrrap there and respect your elders. Your mates are seeded in Pot One, you are jostling for space in Pot Two with the likes of Shakhtar Donetsk & Panathinaikos.
By the time they dump your star-studded backside in the 2nd round for the 6th consecutive season, your eyes will clear!!!!!!!!!!

UP BARCA(barker-noise makers) jare!!!!!!!!!!!!

wait till cambiasso and zanetti handle you guys again in the second round.
and BTW, even though we we pitted in pot2 , we as always would draw same level of fear as ever even more than your sorry ''dead-broke'' club.

Must there always be a thread about the evilgenius on the front page.
I tire for the publicity seun and hin moderators dey accord ''maradona''.
na by force to forgive, talkless of forget.
even if I forgive you sure shouldn't expect forgetting.

Nah, that's not what i meant, i want foreign investors to come in instead of the local ones

Can you see the difference the foreign investors brought into our telecommunication sector? that's what i am talking about!

dont be too optimistic about everything foreign.
when NITEL's monopoly was broken foreign investors(especially MTN) said persecond billing was impossible. Fortunately a local investor(GLOBACOM) made us see the lie in their services.
when DSTV was the sole pay per view T.V provider we were mostly helpless at their customer service and tariffs, fortunately again another local investor (HiTV) broke their stranglehold on us. Now dstv calls and sends SMS to lure us closer to them.
So dont expect a foreigner to be your messiah always.your messiah may be your next door neighbor.

The issue it, nigeria govt should have a large sign at the airport which would state, you can not carry more than $10,000 , most nigerian do not know that. IN nigeria people carry large amount to travel because the system is not the same with the west.

please kindly provide the maps for the above statements. They usually drive home the points you make, and this shouldn't be an exception.

There is a difference between ''STAFF of PHCN'' and ''MANAGEMENT of PHCN''.
the staff suffer the brunt inefficiency of power supply just like any other regular citizen.
they are also entitled to some rights under labor law, and an agreement is an agreement and the F.G and MGT of PHCN should honour their side of it.
recently power(electricity) has improved in ketu,lagos. This, I would love to see continue. so hopefully the issues pending are resolved (with action too).
They are a union of employees just like any other union.

@tpiah
if its in the will, the reason is best known to him. And why would a wife be scared of the test if all her children are legit. I presume thats why she is contesting the inclusion of the test instead of the result of the test.

@ topic(ferrari,Big B1 and i'v forgotten the third IBB nairaland despised-campaigners)
walahi, I just wish,
let me not say it, its Ramadan period. Just take time or else,

For once I witness constructive criticisms,views and arguments on a front page thread.
no swearin.g / cursin.g / abusin.g of anybody.
very informative insights being shared.
I wish we had more sane discussion of this sort rather than what mostly obtains allover.
pEOPLE VENTING THEIR FRUSTRATIONS ON ANY AVAILABLE OBJECT EVEN IF ITS ON CYBERSPACE.

Good job lawyer.%

It is better to own 10% percent in multi billion pound company than own 100% in a multi million russian ruble company.

I only hope(which I expect) he performs exceptionally well, so that better clubs will vie for his legs next season.

sabunim ye chungye

they are very innovative techwise. And their customer service is just sooo friendly.

One feature I really really enjoy is the Premier league highlights they send for any club you subscribe to.
Last season anytime chelsea and man city plays they send me video highlights anytime something significant happens.
so I usually stayed at home with my fiancee on weekends when she comes over and yet stays updated with events on the pitch.
Problem is the service cost #100 per club.
but I dont mind because Insha Allah we will soon do (Nikkah)wedding so that solves it.

1. I feel its not too late for them, the EPL had given them alot of customer base and publicity which they can ride upon to boost revenue through better programming.
2. It will make sense if they can get rights to other leagues. At least bundesliga dey, and Serie A as well remain somewhat popular to some extent and not to mention la liga too.
3. If they cant get rights to the best leagues, they can at least push for selected matches in EPL,LA LIGA,SERIE A,BUNDESLIGA e.t.c. At least N.T.A. Dey show some matches so why cant they. It will still make them relevant in the industry. Call it something like what musicians do i.e. they feature in songs when they dont have any singles or albums to release.

I have a D.S.T.V. But I will never hope for another Nigerian business to suffer into oblivion due to extreme circumstances.

Would like to know when the Ramadan will be coming up so i can plan for the public holiday.
Thank you.

it commences on wednesday 11-08-2010 and the eid l fitr (public) holidays will be on 9th & 10 of september 2010.

Ramadan Kareem.

i just could not stop giggling all through.

We all have sisters and cousins that are females and we dont see them as being ''open legged'' to any ''rod''

So all the other 'abnormal' or uncommon professions such as female( soldiers/ naval officers/ airforce) dont mean they are prfessional prostitutes.


just as they shingo some female military/paramilitary ladies.it alo hppens in federal parastatals,schools,banks,telecom firms and so on.

it all boils down to the individual in question

Something in me says I can because they must surely not be stereotyped ''brutes'' as we seem to think they are.

Thisbrings to mind that :

Female Soldier OR Female Police Officer

I feel more comfortable with the female soldier.

Get her to see all the various advice you have been given on this thread.

then get her to choose the one she is best suited to.

After 10 years at the helms of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), the last three fraught with controversy, Ndi Okereke-Onyiuke was yesterday unceremoniously removed as director general of the Exchange. Her removal was at the instance of stockbrokers who yesterday submitted a joint position to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) demanding an immediate change in leadership.

In deference to the stance of the stockbrokers, SEC yesterday asked the Council of the Exchange to fire Okereke-Onyiuke promptly in public interest failing which it would take the action directly. All members of NSE’s Council, including Aliko Dangote whose election as president of the Exchange was still mired in litigation were asked to step down.

“The affairs of the Exchange are managed by an Interim Administrator appointed by the Commission pending the selection of a new Director General”, the statement signed by Arunma Oteh, director general of SEC, stated “Given the gravity of the allegations around financial mismanagement of the Exchange, the Commission has also directed the conduct of an independent investigation into the allegations,” SEC said. It is the climax of the crisis that had engulfed the Exchange which had been exclusively reported by BusinessDay in the past three years starting from her infamous fund raising frolic for current US President Barack Obama which was vigorously denounced by Obama’s campaign team and Nigerians as a scam.

Her removal came after intense pressure on the leadership of SEC, who were challenged by stakeholders in the capital market, to back its rhetoric with action, as more revelations emerge about an orchestrated deception in an executive succession process and alleged financial infraction by the management of the NSE. Shocked stockbrokers had mobilized its members with a view to stop the crisis at the Exchange. Their position is that since they own the Exchange, it is now time to prevail on their members on its Council to quickly move for the dissolution of the present Council and management and push for the appointment of an administrator to take over as the director general.

After years of docility during which time its leadership abdicated its regulatory responsibilities and kowtowed to the dictates of the Stock Exchange, immediate past director general of SEC, Musa Al-Faki, was forced to resign and long term African Development Bank (AfDB) senior executive, Arunma Oteh, was appointed to replace him. She has gone on record promising to be bullish about regulating the capital market and changing SEC’s old ways.

Analysts and other stakeholders in the market now say the current crisis at the NSE offered a unique opportunity for the Oteh-led SEC to step out of all the rhetoric and act to show that it means business. It was feared from the revelations that had emerged since last week that SEC may have fallen prey to the guile of NSE management when it allowed itself to be convinced that its ordered succession plan for the Stock Exchange, initially designed to be concluded by the end of June, needed to be extended by another month. Analysts say SEC should have been more thorough in scrutinising the request and should have called up the consulting firm NSE said it hired to ascertain what was going on.

Apparently, say sources familiar with the situation, NSE management had long planned to exclude external interest in the positions advertised and internally produce the candidates from amongst its ranks, some of whom were already being groomed by the director general, Ndi Okereke-Onyiuke, to succeed her. “NSE never had the intention to obey SEC’s directive. The plan was to make SEC think they were doing the selection as directed while working internally. The only shame is that like the old SEC, the new face of SEC was not really looking. It was far away from the engine room of the process,” said one stockbroker who is also a council member. For years, the management had kept the Council ineffective following a series of maneuvering that saw the appointment of council members decided on the basis of whether the director general was happy with a member or not. The Council should ordinarily serve as the supervisory board, but it lost its teeth over time.

A stockbroker who did not want to be named told BusinessDay last night when the NSE asked SEC for extension from June 30 to July 31 for the executive selection, it was actually in the process of manipulating the exercise, specifically by adopting the old process of having the most senior officer take over as DG since it has been observed that three general managers applied for the job anyway. It is still not clear why SEC has not requested for an update on the exercise five days after the close of the extension it gave to the NSE. Instead, BusinessDay learnt that Arunma Oteh, the DG, wants to go ahead to carry out a comprehensive scrutiny of the whole saga before acting, a move analysts say is rather slow in the face of the revelation of deception on the part of NSE.

Stockbrokers are collaborating under the Association of Stockbroking Houses of Nigeria (ASHON) and the Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers (CIS) with one council member disclosing that brokers who hitherto have been very quiet on the issue are now ready to take the bull by the horn in order to save the market and their businesses.

According to a senior broker who is deeply involved in the mobilisation drive: “We think the crisis has implication for the market that is negative for now. The shock will force everyone involved to take a serious look at the stock exchange and push quickly for demutualised status, which will enhance transparency and good governance.

“The Exchange needs to rid itself of the cult personality that has dogged it in the recent past. I believe the Exchange will come out of the current crisis better and stronger when it is all over. Sometimes, it takes a crisis to draw attention to important things and this is the first of such crisis in the over 40 years history of the NSE. I think this is the time for SEC to step in and put a temporary administrator and a new Council to run things till things are normalised.”

omolayo1:
@usbcable
why won't u follow (20 million) , u still get hope just turn to a girl.

if I turn a transexual I have betrayed my sweetheart nah. Moreover, am pleased to remain as I am ( I DEY KAMPE).


@poster,
do whatever you feel comfortable doing, if she likes you she wont mind what it is.

@dual core

if to sey I be woman I go follow you shapshap.

ON THE MARCH AGAIN,

create more states in order to create more political post for them to make more money from for their personal engrandisement.

when i watched the meeting of the lagoon delegation with the senate president concerning their agitation for the ''unpopular'' LAGOON STATE,

Painfully I dont know anything about Chief BABATUNDE OLUSOLA BENSON (SAN) and his crony group ''Lagoon State Creation Movement''

I just se it as another selfish motive and PDP would gladly divide the state(divide and conquer)

Old thieving men running around for greedy puposes.

I read geology
but I love I.T. too.

REASON: They are science based courses.

@poster dont tell me you dont know the world is 6 Billion plus and not 10.and there are more women than men i.e. over 3 Billion. and that out of the 3 Billion there are about half no longer menstruating (old women-menopause and young girls- prepuberty).
And by the way more biodegradeable pads and tampons are being made.

on a lighter mode would you prefer baby pads for your kids or you keep using napkins.lol.

She made me realise that I could find someone that is almost like me.

When I saw the topic I wanted to see what Big B1 would say, and am just amused as always.
@depilot,
but those figures would apply only if IBB wins PDP's candidature.

How about a live perfomance by a band?

or get DJ Kris baby love/DJ snoop de damager(turn-table recker,one love).

I hope I can afford them.

watchme:
I can't imagine the coincidence, Presently am a month old pregnant for a guy that claims he so much loves me i believed in him because i have never suspected him in any way and he has been very caring and loving ever since we started the relationship and we have never used condoms, this is to the fact that we always go for routine blood test every two months.

This is a guy I love and care for so much that made me not to notice any other guy around me though he has all it takes to be a real guy and I also trust myself in terms of beauty of a lady or a woman. Though am still running a part-time program as a 200 level student of Biz Admin in the University of Abuja and also working with a very lucretive foreign company as a Secretary.

Recently i made him to understand that I am a month old pregnant for him thinking that he will be happy about that but he calmly sat me down and started telling me different stories he called reasons. I was so suprised to hear all those folks from him.

why do test every two months? ,
any suspicion between you guys
