Talk is cheap ( but at least it requires courage)

Typing something on the net is even cheaper

Divorces are not

Iniesta was the bomb. He played an initial part in one if not both goals i think

1 the defense splitting pass that Larsson touched to Eto

2 (not too sure) but i think he played a part in the second ( need to rewatch the match)

For me, Ronaldinho did not do anything special that night, he was just average

Nigeria can only be classified as a third world country for the following reasons.

1. Mains electricity supplies are erratic or non-existent in most parts of the country.

2. There has never been provision for any form of social security, unemployment or retirement benefits to most Nigerian citizens.

3. The streets are strewn with mountains of trash in most major Nigerian cities as municipal trash collection is effectively non-existent.

4. It is possible to break the law and sometimes even get away with murder simply by bribing the Nigerian Police.

5. The innocent often wind up in jail or get summarily shot for failure to bribe Nigerian policemen.

6. Armed robbers very commonly lay siege on residential neigborhoods FOR HOURS AT A TIME in many Nigerian cities, without police response.

7. Federal and state highways in Nigeria are pock-marked with massive craters that constitute death traps to motorists.

8. Nigerian state-run hospitals are under-funded, under-staffed, housed in run-down buildings and lacking both equipment and reliably safe pharmaceutical drugs.

9. Dead bodies are a common sight on the streets in metropolitan areas as well as in plain view along major highways.

10. Vehicle safety codes in Nigeria are non-existent, and vehicle smog emmission controls entirely unheard of in Nigeria.

11. In Lagos, Nigeria's commercial hub, there exist TODAY pedestrian over-head bridges in such disrepair as to have rotted clear through, leaving gaping holes through which unwary pedestrians do regularly fall 50 feet into traffic below.

12. The number of Nigerian metropolitan areas that are served by a centralized drinking water supply can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

I would be very interested to hear from anyone who feels that ANY SINGLE ONE of the above twelve points does not on its own classify Nigeria as a third world nation, or who feels that any one of the above twelve points contains an exaggeration or lie.

I culled this from another thread in this site just to illustrate the diffrences that can only be described as a great divide. Its just to illustrate to those aking that question, which in itself is a joke of a question
Travel / Re: Is Life Really Better Abroad? by sage(m): 11:35pm On May 16, 2006
Il relate one of the experiences that i had the first day i came into the U.S to illustrate the grave difference


@ Kola U once told me u saw a pothole in France. I can bet u its no longer there(at least that particular one). If u drive on the roads of eastern nigeria, and come back 5 years later, the potholes u saw b/4 are guaranteed to be deathtraps.

When i first stepped into a luxurious Bus in the U.S, i sat besides a Nigerian. When the bus started moving, i asked the guy why the hell there was no policemen on the bus even though we were not searched b/4 we got in. I asked him what they would do if they encountred highway robbers.
  Guess what? The guy almost fell out of his seat laughing. He asked.do you think u are still in naija? Here people travel for five days on the road with ABSOLUTE peace of mind. That particular day i didnot believe it and my mind was not at rest mainly because i had all my money with me,  IMAGINE TRAVELLING IN LUXURIOUS BUSES DAY AFTER DAY IN NAIJA WITHOUT THE THREAT OF HIGHWAY ROBBERS KILLING AND MAIMING PEOPLE. IMAGINE TRAVELLING FROM LAGOS TO MAIDUGIRI THEN TO SOKOTO AND THEN TO PH ON CLEAR 4-6 WAY LANES THAT ARE LOVELY AND SMOOTH.  THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THE WEST UNDOUBTEDLY

I once travelled to the Northeast (Boston side) here and encountred one or two potholes when i was going, guess what? on my return trip, it had been taken care off.
Potholes are not allowed to enlarge here.

Kola, we can outline the issues one by one and in almost everything, th west is way better, and resoundingly so
Travel / Re: British Green Card ! by sage(m): 11:24pm On May 16, 2006
There is welfare in the U.S, so some people here would not like tom work, but depend on the money that the state dishes out to them.
Right now, in Economic terms, the U.S has Full Employment.

@Kola, everything on earth has its bad side, even going to church everyday and beign good all the time. But the truth is that the good outweighs the bad in the west while the Bad in Africa literarily wipes out any little seeming good.
Travel / Re: Is Life Really Better Abroad? by sage(m): 11:07pm On May 16, 2006
@Kola

The total that i make (esp from internships) about $6000. With housing already provided u can save up to $4000 or more in those 3 months. If i compare it to the days that i was in the University in Naija, il ask myself if i ever saved anything near 30,000 during the holidays not to talk of 600,000. I had to be dependent on my parents. Here after 2 summers of work, u can have ur car fully paid for and itz urs, no parents money in it and guess what------ u might not even be 22yrs yet.
If girls in NNaija Unis had 1/10 the opportunities available here, the Aristo maintality would go down.

N/B The amount recieved for Internships and Summer jobs differ so it all depends.

I think Van Basten has made a big mistake in his squad selection. Y drop Huntelaar for Vegnoor of Helsink. Y leave Seedorf, Davids and Roy Maakay

@ Kola

1 No itz allowances.

2 Well during the summer months, at the end at least il have a cool $3,500 -$4000 ( i am talking about what i saved) in the bank for a period of 3 months as a student. Now thats more than 500,000, much more than a full time worker would get in 6 months, not to talk of a student. If the guyz in the telecom industry and banks in naija can work for over 12 hrs a day just to earn 1/3 of what i, a student can earn in my holidays, i dont think il ever complain of working my ass off since i work about the same amount of hrs that they do.

But truth be told, even though its a lot better, if u are illegal, u are in for a hot bath
Travel / Re: Is Life Really Better Abroad? by sage(m): 8:37pm On May 14, 2006
I dont know 4 u guyz anyway, but i am enjoying like here in the U.S. Those who want fuffilled life in Naija can stick there. When i am not in school I make money here many more times than bankers in Naija who stay from 7am to 10pm on there jobs and drive bank cars and get bank money in order to pay 4 their rent.

@ Kola, going abroad is not madness. I think its a reflection of what is currently obtainable in both places. I beg to differ when u say that life abroad is not really better. From personal experience, it is and resoundingly so.

I will be the first though to tell anybody that is really really comfortable in Naija not to leave if he does not have all his stuff straight.

U guyz should stop bashing Drogba. He aint that bad. I guess he serves his use in the team his horrific finishing in one on one's notwithstanding.

R u guysz looking 4 bad strikers or dissapointments last season?

Luque----- very big flop
Pandiani--- Rifle that got stuck up and could not fire
Hesky----- Dont want to talk about that
Stead-------- Maybe he was just a reflection of his whole team?

U all are wasting time.

The truth is simple and clear. THE WEST IS SIMPLY BETTER. There is no place in this world that is stress free. Anybody that wants to be stress free could as well commit suicide.

This question, i believe is about life 4 the average guy living in any of those places and that i believe has one answer.

@Old Glory

I feel u men. Anybody that finds life more intresting in naija should pack and go back and live a 'fufilled' life and leave those of us living an 'unfufilled life' in the west alone. ironically, hardly anybody would do that.

Il rather be paying taxes and bills and have cold and hot water flow into my bathtub 2/4, have standardized roads, security and law and order, electricity than not get those services and not pay.

BANKERS IN NAIJA WORK FROM 7 AM TO 10 PM AND GET 60,000 NAIRA AT THE END OF THE MONTH, THE SAME AMUOUNT A STUDENT

Even though his comments are at times radical i still enjoy them.


@ Topic.

Make una leave talk joo. Naija is forked big time, and this is coming from somebody that has been on both sides of the great divide.

WOULD I GO THROUGH THE HUSTLES I WENT THROUGH TO GET A VISA AGAIN AFTER HAVING SPENT TIME IN THE WEST

HELL YEAH , YEAH AND YEAH. I don't know 4 others, but it has been a hundred times better 4 me.

PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT THEY PAY THIS BILL AND THAT BILL

1 U DRIVE A LENGHT OF ROAD IN THE WEST THAT EQUALS THE DIST FROM SOKOTO TO LAGOS WITHOUT ENCOUNTERING ONE SINGLE POTHOLE.

24 HRS ELEC

3 U DIALL 911 AND U GET IMMEDIATE RESPONSE. SINCE I LEFT NAIJA, I SLEEP WITH MY DOORS OPEN. I DONT FEAR ARMED ROBBERS

4 NO CHILD CARRIES CANS TO GO AND FETCH WATER. 24 HRS HOT AND COLD WATER IN UR BEDROOM AND ALL PARTS OF UR HOUSE
 
DONT U GUYZ WANT TO PAY 4 SERVICES? WOULD U PREFER TO CARRY A GALLON AND COLLECT WATER RATHER THAN PAY 4 IT TO FLOW RIGHT INTO UR BATHTUB?

JUST CANT GO ON.   I AM A STRICT ADVOCATE OF LAW AND ORDER AND THE IMPORTANCE OF HUMAN LIFE. THE DEADS BODIES THAT LIE ON OUR STREETS IS A SHAME.

I DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START

sage
its people like you that should be excluded from the society. your like bad advertisement. what the person is saying is true "your shooting your own foot" so be quite. don't say any more.
a woman looses her dignity when she opens her legs. everything is planned for a reason. u don't need experience to marry someone some day. they only experience u need is spiritual experience. if u gain that, you don't need anything else. if you don't know that, you will be in a complete darkeness, chaos. sage. take a rest.
if your saying that men just look for sex in a woman, then what the hell am i doing on this planet? i should just use my hands.


U said all that was on ur mind b/4 CHILD. You cannot (in fact u said never ever ever) marry a woman who is not a virgin because all you would be thinking 4 the rest of ur life is cocks and she dripping.

I cant help having a good laugh whenever i see ur posts. Besides, u indicated that u had a girl that liked u and u guyz were having sex, and that cocks dripping and she dripping was the reason u could not marry her. Is that mentality the kind of spiritual experience u have? If the sex did not matter, y is ur 20 yr old mind just thinking of her dripping? Jeez, i almost get a fit laughing whenever i see ur posts. Besides, why the hell do u keep having anything to do with her since u have a childs mind? Sex is partly a thing of the mind

I just have one advice 4 u, JUST KEEP USING UR HANDS. I think it will give u all the spiritual experience u need. grin

@Akolawole

Having spent over 20 yrs in naija, and some years in the west, I CAN AUTHORITATIVELY TELL U THAT FOR MOST PEOPLE, LIFE HERE IS A MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN IT WILL EVER BE FOR THEM IN NAIJA.
I know that u love naija, but thats not even a reason to compare.

Racism, yeah the bigger brother to tribalism. Ask Ibos that live in Northern Nigeria and i can tell u i feel a hundred times more at peace here in the U.S than they will ever feel there in their lifetime.

Having lived in those two places, THERE IS SIMPLY NO COMPARISON.

If u want us to compare bit by bit we can too
