Life goes on

I can't but comment on the matches played yesterday (at least the one I watched).
Arsenal was playing a fine game trying to impress Jacques Chirac or God-knows-who. They were dribbling, wagging their tails and sticking their tongues out at the same time. I was just wondering if the basics of adjudging winner of a football match is the skills display. They really should have nailed Eindoven in the first half. EIndhoven wasn't very bad though. The moment that made me laugh most was when Philipe Senderos perched like a chicken that wanted to lay eggs and caught the ball when it was evident that the opponent had dribbled past him.
Somehow, Gallas wasn't just himself that yesterday and he showed it with every move he made.
As for Aruna Kone, the guy is just a figure-head striker there designed to waste time. He's a Louis Saha kind'a guy. Except the post is empty, he aint scoring.
Life goes on though. Let's see what the return leg would bring.

Kindergaten rule

If you haven't heard, the whole of blogville is at Diamond's place enjoying themselves, so don't be left out.

Favouritism has really taken the centre-stage in Nigerian politics this time around. The ruling PDP have definitely read Geaorge Orwell's Animal farm. It's now in black & white, even pronounced by Mr. President himself that all animals are equal but some are more equal than others.
Abi what is the explanation for deciding to go ahead backing some gubernatorial candidates who have not ben cleared for misappropriation of funds? This our same government is the one that is "out to fight corruption with the whole of it's blood".
Can you imagine Obasanjo saying that "a known devil is better than a hidden angel"?!!! In a country where there's supposed to be rule of law? It just sucks. And this favour is given only to cameleons like Gbenga Daniels and not to the generally caught PDP thieves who wanna come back.

That reminds me of what Chief Gabriel Igbinedion said about his son after his first term in office as the governor of Edo State in Nigeria when he seeking for a second term. His remarks were that a son who fails a class should be allowed to REPEAT HIS TERM!! So they should give his son the chance to correct his wrongs :-S. So they have turned Nigeria into Jeleosinmi and Kindergaten where people experiment & learn how to rule?
God bless our nation. Where is Gani or Soyinka to lambast these people when we need them to?

Give me one reason

Give me one reason to stay here - and Ill turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here - and Ill turn right back around
Because I dont want leave you lonely
But you got to make me change my mind

Baby I got your number and I know that you got mine
But you know that I called you, I called too many times
You can call me baby, you can call me anytime
But you got to call me

Give me one reason to stay here - and Ill turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here - and Ill turn right back around
Because I dont want leave you lonely
But you got to make me change my mind

I dont want no one to squeeze me - they might take away my life
I dont want no one to squeeze me - they might take away my life
I just want someone to hold me and rock me through the night

This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need
This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need
But Im too old to go chasing you around
Wasting my precious energy

Give me one reason to stay here - and Ill turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here - and Ill turn right back around
Because I dont want leave you lonely
But you got to make me change my mind

Baby just give me one reason - give me just one reason why
Baby just give me one reason - give me just one reason why I should stay
Because I told you that I loved you
And there aint no more to say

Now for those who are music-inclined, give it a shot. Whose is this?

King of sorrow

I'm crying everyone's tears
And there inside our private war
I died the night before
And all of these remnants of joy and disaster
What am I suppose to do
I want to cook you a soup that warms your soul
But nothing would change, nothing would change at all
It's just a day that brings it all about
Just another day and nothing's any good
The DJ's playing the same song
I have so much to do
I have to carry on
I wonder if this grief will ever let me go
I feel like I am the king of sorrow, yeah
The king of sorrow
I suppose I could just walk away
Will I disappoint my future if I stay
It's just a day that brings it all about
Just another day and nothing's any good
The DJ's playing the same song
I have so much to do
I have to carry onI wonder will this grief ever be gone
Will it ever go
I'm the king of sorrow, yeah
The king of sorrow
I'm crying everyone's tears
I have already paid for all my future sins
There's nothing anyone
Can say to take this away
It's just another day and nothing's any good
I'm the king of sorrow, yeah

King of sorrow
