I wonder what they see in each other, well she probably sees $$$, i have no idea what he sees.

Just hoping this isn't the " one chance Syndrome".

Now i see why and how Abacha contacted the polonium that killed him.

What Messi did to Boateng was a war crime.

PARIS (AP) -- There is such a thing as being too clever for your own good.

Pep Guardiola is undoubtedly smart, but his reluctance to water down his tactical thinking is one reason why his Bayern Munich team won't win the Champions League this year. That and because he looks out of his depth at the pinnacle in Europe without the unstoppable, match-winning force that is Lionel Messi.

Bayern playing three-on-three for 15 opening minutes against Barcelona's attacking trio of Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez in the Champions League semifinals on Wednesday night was the football equivalent of climbing into a lion's cage to impress your friends.

Either you emerge with a story for the ages - ''Did I tell you about the time when ...?'' - or you lose limbs. Bayern lost a leg.

Even for a renowned motivator like Guardiola and with the home advantage of their Allianz Arena, it is hard to think of convincing arguments the Bayern coach can use to hoodwink his players into thinking that their 3-0 loss at the Camp Nou can be remedied in the second leg in Munich next Tuesday.

Football neutrals should send Guardiola a ''thank you'' note for an opening spell so breathtakingly risky that it was tempting to wake up the kids: ''Don't worry about being tired for school, you must see this.''

No other contemporary manager would have dared go toe-to-toe with a trio that by the end of the night had inflated its combined total of goals this season to an otherworldly 111. The audacity was intoxicating, oxygen after so many matches of rote football from coaches lacking Guardiola's imagination. The boxing equivalent would have been if Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao had gone at each other hammer and tongs in their so-called Fight of the Century that wasn't, instead of going through the motions for obscene paychecks.

There was method in Guardiola's madness. By skimping with three at the back, piling bodies into the midfield and pushing players higher up the pitch, he wanted to out-Barcelona Barcelona, deprive Messi and Co. of the ball that he, when he was Barcelona's trophy-winning coach from 2008-2012, drilled them to always hold onto or quickly get back.

''Monopolize the ball and make them run'' was Guardiola's succinct summary of his anti-Barcelona plan. ''But we were not dominant enough.''

Pragmatism can go a long way in football. The career of Jose Mourinho, the antithesis of Guardiola's idealism, demonstrates that. Winning the Champions League with two different teams - Porto and Inter Milan - is an achievement Guardiola is no closer to matching. His Champions League titles in 2009 and 2011 both came with Barcelona, with Messi.

Unlike Guardiola, Mourinho doesn't think ''parking the bus,'' defense in numbers, winning ugly when needed, are dirty words. One would never expect, or even want, such calculating realism from a football romantic like Guardiola. But his switch after 15 frantic minutes to a more orthodox four-man defense tacitly acknowledged the folly of allowing Messi, Neymar and Suarez so much room. That no one at Bayern made Guardiola see that before kickoff begs the question of whether he has too much power and not enough critical advice.

Had Bayern started that way, putting out fewer fires and playing with more composure than panic, it perhaps could have made better use of the opening spell. Guardiola could point out that Barcelona's goals came at the end of the match, in the 77th, 80th, and 94th minutes, not at the beginning, and that the match would have been radically altered if Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski had not scuffed wide an early chance.

Guardiola could also convincingly argue that Messi decided this match, not tactics. His second goal, bamboozling Jerome Boateng with a left-right swerve that comically floored the Bayern defender, and chipping over the world's best goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer, will be seared on the minds of Ballon d'Or voters.

They'll have little choice but to award Messi his fifth player of the year trophy unless current holder Cristiano Ronaldo does even better to get Real Madrid past Juventus in the other semifinal return leg next Wednesday.

Still, despite those mitigating circumstances, the verdict has to be that the 2013 Champions League winners have gone backward in Europe since Guardiola took charge from Jupp Heynckes. Last season, it was eventual champion Real Madrid that chewed chunks out of Guardiola's reputation with a 5-0 aggregate victory in the semifinals. Now Messi is begging the question: Can Guardiola only win in Europe when the Argentine genius is playing for him, not against him?

If he can't find an answer to that next week, then perhaps Guardiola isn't as smart as he thinks.

That's a typical African family, everyone will bring their problem to you, that's not even the issue, because in Africa as far as one can make it, it isn't a bad idea to bring everyone onboard. But problem is after helping them in different kinda ways, they still can't help themselves, they want to be an everlasting leech on you. Whereas you've got tons of your own personal problem you gotta take care of. Jeezzzz i can feel you Ade. Hope you got this sorted out soon, so it doesn't take a toll on your career. Best of luck, cuz you 'll surely need it.

Bulls Eye op! Bulls Eye.

You right on the money i tell ya

The problem of that cesspit (slave camp) is due to a faulty political structure that was set up by winners of the civil war to exploit the resources of the country for personal benefit. Imagine a situation where every industry in the country is run down, because some feel it is easier to make a sloven billion or two from oil blocks in a life of sleaze and extortion enforced with state terror.

They grab you by the balls and the nation by the jugular; they actively work to entrench chaos, because the ability to organise is the ability develop and the ability to resist.

In a normal country, no one would even dream to exist as an evil parasite on their own people. For this, we blame Lugard, an evil being who brought strange bed fellows together for reasons of extortion, without as much as getting them to sign a contract of belonging.

That there is a summary of the problem of the "slave camp"

BoaTANK fell like a chopped tree, i have never in my life seen such...

Reuters

JOS, Nigeria (Reuters) - Nigerian troops battled militiamen in central Nigeria on Sunday after they destroyed several villages and killed scores of people last week, including six soldiers who had their eyes gorged out and tongues cut off, a military spokesman said.


The group is not part of Islamist militant group Boko Haram, Special Task Force spokesman Captain Ikedichi Iweha told Reuters, but he did not give further details on their identity.

"Tongues were cut off, eyes were gorged out, bodies were decapitated," Iweha said of the soldiers killed in the April 28 attack that saw several villages on the border of the central states of Plateau and Taraba razed to the ground.

"Yesterday, contact was made with the militia group and a firefight ensued. It is still going on," he said.

Iweha said he could not disclose what triggered the initial attack until the operation was completed.

A resident of the area said the army had killed 20 people in retaliation for the dead soldiers, who he said were murdered Saturday night. Those killed belonged to the Tarok ethnic group, members of which had allegedly engaged in cattle rustling.

"I saw people killed deliberately by the soldiers. Some ran to the river but could not escape. They were caught by the bullets," Usman Sabo told Reuters.

Iweha denied the army had attacked the villagers.

Clashes pitting the cattle-herding Fulani people against mostly settled farming communities like the Berom in Nigeria's volatile "Middle Belt" are common.

This senile old foôl should stfu, the greed, self-importance and hypocrisy displayed by this scrunt is epic. There's no other way to describe this insanity.

What is it with Nigerian men killing their spouse in the U.S?

What's the last price? Serious buyer here.

If there is any reason that makes a Jonathan re-election even more imperative, it is the fact that Nigeria’s opposition party, the APC looked at Nigeria and went into the graves of our nation’s painful past to exhume their candidate. There is nothing new that Buhari is bringing to the table in 2015 that Jonathan did not accomplish four years ago. Beyond party affiliation, as a Nigerian youth, there is something awfully backward about the idea of a Buhari presidency. There are some brands that packaging cannot sell, no matter the competence, creativity or innovation of the packager. This is the dilemma of the Buhari campaign.The law of diminishing returns is a reality promoters of Buhari must come to terms with. More than the problem of Buhari’s old age is the bigger problem of the age of his ideas. What ideas will Buhari run our new Nigeria with? We are being told to make a 72-year-old man President over a future Nigeria he will not be part of. How does that even sound? Promoters of Buhari are telling us to drop a President Jonathan who has a clear record of performance for a Buhari who Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka described as a man in whom we have been offered “no evidence of the sheerest prospect of change.

I wonder if the EFCC read him his Miranda rights?

Or rather their version of it :

"You have the right to remain silent. However, if you choose to exercise that right we're going to tear you apart, extract all your teeth without anesthetic, beat you to a pulp and kick you in your stomach until you regurgitate your food."
