₦airaland Forum

Honestly Facebook is one of the best Social sites I have joined in recent time. I used it to generate traffic for my football forum ( see my signature for link ) but made the stupid mistake of spamming them and was pushed out. Though I did not stay long in there but the result was massive and fun.

debosky:
The only rumour I want to hear is that Man City is bidding $30 million for Eboue

Eboue is fast improving and I am beginning to think he may become a good midfielder but you never know Mr Rich Man city can bid 30 million since they are clueless on what to use their money on.

They are not yet out. They still have a mathematical advantage.

Over now. tesyes why do you have to tell me shut up when I am just saying my mind.

Thank God for mother luck and Goalkeeper and South Africans themselves, if not we would have conceded up to 4 goals

This boy Uche is good but the team is rubbish. The NFF needs to do something about our preparations as it seems this boys did not train together at all. No cohesion in there game and thats what give the South African the edge.

we have scored ooo

those that did not watch the match should not even bother becos it is an eyesore. The Super Falcons will do better than this honestly.

seems this one will end in a draw as the Eagles are playing poorly as usual.

ndumart:
SAF is getting too complacent for my liking. Neville should be playing against teams like Hull, Stoke and West Brom and not against fast and youthful teams. ZSP were far from superior, they just concentrated on Neville and wore the old man out. The first goal was Neville;s fault; playing an harmless ball for a corner kick and even getting a pat by VDS. Brown came him then Arshavin and Danny became anonymous.

Nani should grow up, Fletcher has shown he should be a peripheral figure. As for Rooney, i have no comments. What the hell is Hargreaves problem? He never seem to recover fully from this his injury.

great from a United fan. I guess you are the best United fan cos most of you will never say the truth.

Recovery Continues as Stock Market Gains N355bn
, NSE set to de-list inactive firms
By Goddy Egene, 08.29.2008


Investors continued to smile yesterday as share prices firmed up further, two days after the Federal Government and other stakeholders in the nation’s capital market intervened to stem the bear run that started last March.
As at the close of trading yesterday, the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) market capitalisation added another N355 billion to close at N9.443 trillion, up from the previous day’s value of N9.088 trillion.
The gain, which translates to 3.9 per cent, brings to N635 billion the total value the intervention has added to the market. In all, the market has recovered by 7.2 per cent in two days, even as experts say further recovery is expected in the days ahead.
The NSE All-Share Index moved the same northward direction yesterday, adding 1,739.42 points to close at 46,312.27. Before the recovery measures were announced on Tuesday, the market gauge was 43,199.47. But it rose on the waves of the palliative measures to close at 44,572.85 on Wednesday before inching up by another 3.9 per cent to close at 46,312.27 yesterday.
To show the dominance of the bulls in the market, 84 stocks recorded price appreciation of between five per cent and two per cent, while only four stocks lost value ranging from 0.9 to 0.8 per cent.
The government had to intervene after the market had lost about 30 per cent of its value within a period of five months. As part of the measures announced by the government, an Advisory Committee was set up that will meet regularly and review the performance of the market. There was also a reduction of market operators’ fees; introduction of a capital market stabilisation fund; review of the country’s liquidity situation; a review of trading rules and 20 per cent buy-back of shares by companies.
The National Coordinator of the Independent Shareholders Association of Nigeria (ISAN), Mr Sunny Nwosu, whose association had organised an international workshop on share buy-back in Abuja last June, commended the proposed rule to allow companies to buy back 20 per cent of their shares.
“This is a good development and has vindicated ISAN’s position. Share buy-back has many benefits of giving investors more value for their investments. We are willing to assist the government on its implementation because we have adequate information on how it can be done successfully given the experiences from other countries. Experts who came from all the world during that conference exposed us to how share buy-back can be handled. ISAN is willing to assist because the market must not be left to fall,” Nwosu said.
Meanwhile, the NSE is set to delist moribund companies from the market as part of measures to cleanse it and restore investors’ confidence.
The Director-General of the NSE, Prof. Ndi Okereke-Onyiuke, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that no fewer than 19 companies are likely to be affected by the delisting exercise.
The companies include Onwuka Hi-Tek Industries, Tate Industries, Foremost Dairies Plc, Beverages (West Africa) Plc, Universal Trust Bank, Premier Breweries Plc, Udeofson Garment Factory, Intra Motors Plc and Albarka Air Plc, Aboseldehyde Laboratories Plc, Maureen Laboratories Plc and Christlieb Plc. Others are Amicable Assurance Plc, Security Assurance Plc, Sun Insurance Plc, Nigeria Sewing Machinery Manufacturing Company Plc, Stokvis Nigeria Plc, Nigerian Textile Mills Plc and Enpee Industries Plc.
While some of the companies have been inactive over time, Okereke-Onyiuke said that the NSE had to follow due process that is involved in de-listing all failed quoted companies.
"As an emerging market, we had quietly intervened by assisting some of the companies which accepted our calls, shared their problems with us and today are doing fine," she said.
She noted that Champion Breweries Plc, Impresit Bakalori and RT Briscoe are among companies that took advantage of the earlier interventions of the NSE and are today back in business and meeting their obligations to the investors.
Market operators had commented on the recovery measures put in place by the government. For instance, Mr. Jibola Odedina, of Marina Securities Limited, supports the one per cent limit on downward movement of share prices. He described it as a measure to forestall sudden price falls that could shock the market.
Odedina believes the package of measures is capable of restoring confidence in the market and suggested that a little investment in the stabilisation fund would help in delivering the desired results. He also believes that the market makers to reduce wild fluctuations in market prices could be found from among existing stockbrokers.

I really do not believe the market is going to recover. I expect a crash. Hey don't take me as a negative person but it is the true. What the government has done is illegal and will not last. The only thing that can be done is to work on the silly and useless policy they get us involve him and not stop prices from going down just as they have done. The truth is investors who have the same mind like myself will react to whats going on as a negative sign which is not good for the market.

loyika:
Now i very rarely insult my gaffer but if the stories i am hearing are true, then this once Arsene is a big time MUG

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/article4569468.ece

Now under what circumstances will Silvestre be welcomed As HNIC said; "A Scum reject in the Red and White" THAT IS TOTALLY BUNKUM AT THE HIGHEST!!

First of all he is 31 years old ffs. Secondly he is an Scummy, thirdly is he the DMF we were promised Fourthly HE IS A FREAKING SCUMMY!! Inshort all that matters is that, HE IS A FREAKING SCUMTWAT!!

Is Arsene getting him because he is French Are they related I thought Song was to fill in in defence So we sold Hoyte in other to buy a Scum Reject

What is wrong with this man

I really have no words to describe how i would feel if that Scumbot turns out in the Red and White I mean, does Arsene take the views of the fans seriously, HOW THE HECK IS HE GOING TO PRESENT THIS!?

GOONER 89

I don't see any truth in that story, we all know wenger can never buy a 31 year old

This is the best thread I have ever read on Nairaland in recent time.sure lossing a friend or a close relative is always very painful. I can remember when I lost my grandmother who I actualy thought was my mother in 1993 and how painful it was and it still is not to talk of lossing my half brother in 2001, who was even closer to me than my own full sister then and who can ever forget Precious Uweh the best friend I have ever had in my life who died 2 years ago when I actually thought he has come into my life to stay. The only friend I have ever had in my life. But life goes on the and dream and aspiration we had together must be fullfilled.

I see us winning by at least 3-0. We must win this one now that we are in serious crisis due to injuries since our problem in recent time has always been injuries and the teams we are playing this time are not so great.

sneedyz:
Siasia has been too consisitent. I hope he doesen't get a "presidential handshake" for all his efforts.

do you even care wether he gets presidential handshake or not ?? what I am sure of is that a big club out nigeria or country aside Nigeria will snap him up if NFA or Nigeria doesn't need him.

Cristalz:
Good consolation goal. Make una no blame our boys jo. We're nice

Siasia is only trying to maintain good international relations. Didn't y'all see how he allowed the US to score one also? Hez just being nice to them. Up Nigeria!

yes all at least make they no feel bad.

I wonder why they no play like this boy, I hope Brazil beats Argentina oooooooo if not we are in for it goal of the tournament no doubt

the greatest miss of the century Victor HABAAAAAAAA

Another reason why I hate this Americans and British with passion. They are full of shits and they even thought us the scams. it hurts when things like this happen. If I were to be you I would not appeal the decision instead go to work here in our country ( full of honey and Milk which those fools need) and make a life and a name for yourself and those idiots will come begging you.

sleekstar:
Nigeria 2 - USA 1
In the last  5 minutes there could have been 5 goals - exciting match
Nigeria and Netherlands qualify!
see www.711football.com for news

get your facts right, it is Nigeria and Usa though based on number of goals scored

vichel:
Siasia chose his team, i need to know why he droped mikel knowing fully well that he has a very crappy midfield. The Ego on that guy, listen nobody is bigger than the nation, his differences wit mikel does ot matter. Siasia would take a chunk of the blame so far

Mikel does not want to go to Ghana then why should he go to Beijing, I agree with Siasia. Mikel is not God and he can go to hell.

I also have doubts about our member chance at the olympics but I believe Siasia is up to the task. It is obvious that he has no midfield and the boys were not given the right instruction in the second half and that was what led to the unneccessary rush for goals forgetting their backline but good a thing we are through. We can only get better.

Cesc04:
Me too add my own binding join the rest peeps own!!

Just cause the mofo managed to produce one fine cross for ade's first goal against ajax dosent mean he gets touted as the next david beckham .

Diaby on the other hand is a disaster waiting to happen. his timeless, reckless challenges will get us into a lot of hot water if AW insists on playing him as our DMF, not with the way every tom nd jerry these days makes a specialty out of taking freekicks.

He will do us a service being backup way upfront than just infront of the back four.Anyway we will get a new DMF before the transfer window slams shut and I suspect it will be Gokhan Inler.

@Cesc04 don't bother yourself debosky is actually picking on us and not saying that Diaby and Eboue are our best players.

Iyineda:
Mehn, I know there's a topic about the true ages of Nigerian footballers but, really, how old is Promise Isaac ? The number 10 of this olympic squad ? He looks older than my dad, meaning he is close to his fifties !!!!!! Osaze is the only player with his real age on the pitch. He is 27 but still looks (much) younger than those who claim to be under 23. Pfff, 

I believe the age thing also exist in europe and there is no point picking on how country, do you honestly believe Rooney and Terry are 20 plus ??

they are actually playing more composed now when it seems too late.

nyabinghi:
hat trick for cristiane. falcons must score 5 more times now

no they don't need to score five more then actually need 4 more to qualify or score to more and draw with Brazil and pray Japan and New Zealand loss their matches by at least 2-0 and they will be through as one of the best lossers with Korea. it is very possible but the Coach has some metal problem disturbing his head, I see no reason why he can not tell the girls to cool down and play their normal football. They are rushing way too much and thats why they are 3-1 down now when they should still have been 1-0 up.

@folahann whats the starting lineup.

it is a shame we Nigerians can not watch the match, can some one tell me where I can watch the replay online ?

I hope so but I am not too sure about it.

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=157552.msg2632840#msg2632840 date=1218298088]They played well but just couldnt finish i was expecting a bashing but the girls tried[/quote]they did very well but the Coach has got lots of work to do if the girls must qualify. He must teach team how to shoot,they play as if they can't kick the ball. They need to shoot with power.

debosky:
Honestly I can't answer that question - the dude just frustrated me last night.

The Sad thing is, with that cross, he has guaranteed his position in the team for another 5 years.

AW now realises we can't have midfield injuries Thats what happens when you let 3 of them go in one season.

There are now rumours he may also buy some 22 year old Ghanaian kid as well, either way sort it out NOW.
Kolo and Gallas need to get their act together too.

The only consolation is that FC Twente probably don't have strikers as good as Huntelaar and Suarez.

I think Wenger is only waiting for Eboue to start scoring own goals before he throws him into the dust bin or bring him back to where he belongs which is the backline and not as a midfielder, he is obviously not going to improve and he does not even have the speed required of a 7.
