coogar: torres is a big problem? how?
he was on the bench for feck's sake - chelsea never looked like dominating the game---all the crosses attempted didn't even clear the first man - the ones that did were easily cleaned out by juve defence. how would hazard and midgets like oscar/mata win a header against buffon/chiellini?

Well, If torres had been performing up to expected standards, there wouldn't be a need for him to be benched in the first place. It was because of his ineptitude that the coach was forced to use an unfavorable strategy for the game.

Somebody pls translate this

coogar: i told you - the fluid football is a myth!
hazard, oscar and mata cannot cross the ball to save the career of di matteo. every crossed ball did not even beat the first man. they are just a bunch of fanciful players with outstanding foot work. nothing else! hazard one on one with buffon, he missed! oscar had some chances too, nothing! had torres started the game, ibime and dayo would be foaming in the mouth.......

can everyone now see the problem with chelsea is not torres but the system?

Torres is a big part of the problem.

OMO IBO: RDM is toast.

That man is a fool i swear. I've never seen a more embarrasing match we have played in the champions league since i became a chelsea fan.
A simple 4-3-3 formation would've gotten us a draw at least. I'm just so dissapointed

Another reason why LG's should be scrapped: They don't generate any income to the national purse. That is, they are purely parasitic.

Born 2be Rich: Local government are useful but the problem is that they themselves dont know their functions.....

They have no functions aside looting.

Today, November 19th is the international mens day.

A good example of why LGs should be scrapped.

As committee recommends 27 new LG's, 2 new Area Offices.

The Governor of the State of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, on Wednesday assured on the readiness of the state to adhere to all constitutional provisions in the process of creating new local governments areas in the state.

While saying that the state is not out to confront the Federal Government on the issue of Local Government creation, the governor lamented what he believed have been the unfair considerations that had hallmarked the process of creating states and local governments in the past.

This was just as the committee saddled with the creation of more Local Governments in the state of Osun recommended 27 new LGs and 2 Area Offices.

The governor stated this while receiving the report of Osun Local Government Areas Creation Committee at the Governor's Office in Abeere, Osogbo.

Aregbesola noted that the state will do everything possible under the constitution of Nigeria to create Local Governments that will meet all required standards, stating that the basis for the exercise was the genuine desire and consent of the people of Osun.

In his words, "We are simply not ready to confront anybody or the Federal Government, but we are working on the constitution to grant the wishes of our people. Osun will be the first to constitutionally create local governments. We will create councils that will meet all constitutional requirements.

"The difference between what we are seeking to do from others is that, we have not in, any way influenced this. It is the genuine desire of the people for self-government or expression of having control of their own affairs." The governor stated.

Aregbesola held that Nigerians must not be deceived that the structure that they have all over the country were derived from the genuine and consent of the people who are entrapped in various states and local governments in the country.

The governor averred that the creation of local governments according to the amended 1999 Constitution, the creation of LGs is totally in the hands of the states through the State House of Assembly.

According to Aregbesola, "The only mention of LG in our constitution is the nature of the government and not a tier of government. Local governments can never be a unit of the federation outside the state. It is a contradiction that LG is a tier of government in our own federalism."

Earlier in his address, the Chairman, Osun Local Government Areas Creation Committee, Prof. Mojeed Alabi, said the subsequent decisions of the Supreme Court have deepened their current understanding of the Federal-State relationship in Nigeria that justifies the State of Osun taking the struggle father from where Lagos stopped.

The chairman urged the state to prepare a bill for a law of the state House of Assembly to be duly passed and assented to by the governor to empower the state to distribute the funds domiciled in the state Joint Local Government Account among all the LG in the state, including the newly created.

According to Alabi, "The state government of Osun should create Local Government Areas and not Local Government Development Areas in line with the decision of the Supreme Court of Nigeria that such Local Government Areas have come into legal existence once a bill to such effect is passed by the state House of Assembly and assented to by the Governor.

"The State of Osun should activate its legal machinery and strengthen the same in anticipation of the legal battles in order to enforce its right under the constitution, including the possibility of getting the National Assembly to perform its legislative duty of amending the relevant section." The chairman enthused.

Prof. Alabi urged the government of Osun to work tirelessly for the search for viable constitution for the country that will be based on value of true federalism, anchored on the promotion of regional diversity in a united and strong Nigeria.

[quote author=]The states are small enough that local governments aren't needed.[/quote]Agreed. Both in population and size.

So nairalanders, do you think Local governments are beneficial to the people or to a specific corrupt few?

I don't know which government instituted the LGA system in Nigeria, they might have had beneficial plans for the Nigerian public, more importantly, those living in rural areas since the LG were initially meant to bring government closer to the people.

However, those plans they had for the LG system are yet to be realized. The LG system in Nigeria has failed woefully in all ramifications. The present LG system doesn't bring government close to the people. How?

. The corruption in most LGA's stink. The position of a LG chairmen/councillor/supervisor is nothing but an avenue to loot the treasury.

. Most Nigerians don't know the name of their local government chairman and due the high rate of rural-urban migration, most nigerians also don't want to live in the rural areas due to lack of job opportunities.

. There are barely any meaningful projects or programs being instituted by LGA's nationwide, most of the amenities used in LG's (roads, electricity etc) are commissioned by the state government, NGO's or wealthy indigenes.

. LG chairmen are pawns to state governors, state governors can seize LG funds or terminate the tenure of a LG chairman or scrap a whole LGA. This is commonplace in most states

Just be yourself. If she doesn't like you, there is nothing you can do.

Shollypopz: They are actually not Caucasians but Filipinos.

That aside, most of these heel races are for gay movements/rights. So, I wouldn't call it nonsense.

This one isn't for gay rights.

J12: Nigerians ehn! Having a tattoo or piercing is not a "sign of a depraved mind". I have tattoos and i'm not gay. You are just shallow minded.

So you have tattoos? Where - Arms, arse, chest, hands, back, forehead

J12: They kinda look like you.


@thread
They look pretty. Wouldn't mind having one. How much are they anyway?

~looks in the mirror~ mirror mirror on the wall, is that true?

mirror says negative. They look more like you.

She'll definitely get tired of it in a few years to come.

Congrats to pascal, he's quite a smarty. It would've been weird if onyinye had won.

mojounited: Actually, I think that J12's post was referring to you... So there you have it! Whatchu gonna do now..?

**Spits on J12's face and gives him a dirty slap.

J12: Outright rejection.

Being friend zoned is similar to telling to a girl:
"You’re pretty cool, I suppose, but you’re not that pretty. I definitely am not physically turned by you. To be honest, you’re just that not exciting and I can do better than you. Why do I even want to keep you around? Well, I don’t know. Your friend Cynthia is totally hot. I do want to have sex with her. You have a few other friends that are cute, too. Plus, as a guy, it does make me look a little cooler and more attractive if I have several female hanger-ons. Ugh, but again, just thinking about your naked body makes me ill.”

If a guy ever says that to me. . .

401kk: Why do you say so?

Because they think the girl has given them the green light.

Hey, they are your teeth not mine bro. [/quote]LMAO

Some guys like being friend zoned.

I was on the phone for forty minutes yesterday, thats the longest i've ever spent. whats yours?

Why the long grammar? The contract was revoked so that it could be reviewed by the govt. Simple

Lmao. Thats why there should be more women in the house of rape5

[quote author=ekt_bear]Today, I made progress towards this goal. A certain individual who I have very strong feelings for but am incompatible with, we've agreed to just be friends (rather than the previous emotionally damaging fwb but not quite in a relationship situation).[/quote]You seem confused. You have strong feelings for someone, you claim you're incompatible with the person but you have sex with them?
