    It all started on Friday when I walked into my office with a Chelsea jersey and every one was looking at me as if I was from outer space. The truth was that I have never discussed football in the office before not to talk placings allegiance to a particular European team but I shocked them by wearing a team's jersey that just lost out in the champion's league campaign. What was I trying to accomplish? To show that being taciturn does not mean inactivity and loyalty is more important to temporal success.

    Football is synonymous to life. It has a time limit of 90 minutes and can be extended based on the inability to decide a winner. So is life, it has a time limit and can also be extended. The beauty of football is that there is a goal to be accomplished; win by scoring goals better than your opponent through team effort so is this life that we inhabit; you have to fulfill your purpose through team effort. Life also has its own coaches, umpires, lines men and spectatators. As players practise to enter a match, so we are expected to practise to fulfill our destiny.

    Now another thing that intrigue me about football is the fan base; most Nigerian fans of the European leagues supports a team because their fellow Nigerians are playing there. Let's start with Arsenal; Kanu was the puller here and it amazes me how peeps deny this but when Kanu left to Portsmouth, peeps still stayed with Arsenal. This means my theory was wrong. Why do I like Chelsea? Truth be told, my favourite team is Juve because of the characteristics, tradition and history of the team. I truly love this team. My love for Chelsea comes from their coach Murinho - the guy is controversial and result oriented. Its a pity he could not pick up the league this time around.

    Okay, another strange thingy happened to me on Sunday when I received a call from a dear friend that I opined that Club Freedom was a scam. I was so shocked that I forgot about the meal I was about to take. An impostor has signed into the comment section with my name and has written using my style of writing. One of the stuffs that came to my mind was to place a moderator on this site and check every post that passes through the comment section before it appears.

    My training on the first 10 ammendment of the constitution of America popularly known as the Bill of Rights got the better of me. So I tell myself if for an impostor, I strangle the rights to free speech et al, then I am not different from the leaders that subvert the constitution for emmergency sake like terorism, etc. So I had a rethink and I had no solution to prevent this mischief from ever taking place again. Freedom comes with a price though and I believe a collective responsibility from dear readers shoul be employed to put this impostor to a halt.

    Back to musing, I watched 300 and I was disappointed; all the hypes and noise.  I have always dreaded listening to peep's opinion on films but this time I just fell into the exodus syndrome. My time is quite precious to me so taking time out to watch such film meant a lot to me. I would have preferred watching Blood Diamond a second time than watch 300; anyway this could be my mapping. I am even thinking of reviewing films on this site. What do you think readers?

    My wife's bizness is metamorphosing to a full juice business and its doing quite well. I thank God for the grace she has given her at such an early stage of business. Nothing in life is by struggle or by power, its the cheer grace of God. Before she started her business, I had an interview with a 32 year old igbo trader who was has little or no formal education and he is doing very well in the line of spare part and used car business. This igbo trader is my land lord and my house is a deluxe service flat. There are great nuggets from the interview; I would be posting it soon.

    Well, till my next post........

    hi,
    got this excerpt from a commentator on deoluakinyemi.com.hope it helps O'jay?
    ''What most of us don’t know is this….basically what Club Freedom sell are HOLIDAY VOUCHERS. Many other companies also sell Holiday Vouchers, but the difference is that Clubfreedom additionally offers cash bonus for referral selling.

    Most of us do not pay enough attention to the details of these schemes.

    When you signed up for Clubfreedom, you paid $200. Club Freedom charge $50 for ADMIN Fees (their pocket) and also sell you a $150 Holiday Voucher (again they’ve made some profit off your head).
    The Holday Voucher affords you an unlimited access to heavily discounted resort accommodation around the world. You can start enjoying this without waiting to “cycle-out” (your position to reach the top)

    So each time you refer someone / signup someone under your position, you’ve helped Club Freedom SELL ANOTHER WHOLESALE VOUCHER and also provided them with $50 Admin Fee. That’s what we’ve all purchased at sign up.

    The $150 Certificate enttiles you to purchase 7 nights accommodation at one of several thousands resorts around the world for a wholesale fixed price. The certificate can be redeemed at http://www.wlhholidayvouchers.com

    Most people don’t even realise that they’ve got access to these holidays….Una just dey buy am, but una no use am.
    Imagine a man that bought a Brand New Car, Walks to work everyday because he didn’t think his car knows the way to his office……..even the Bible says “My people perish for lack of knowledge - Hosea 4:6a”

    Nospetco, Treasurelink,etc are all stories compared to 6k4U. I joined the 6K4U that yields $6000 or N780,000 in 6 to 10 weeks by just investing N24000 for 2poeple. I joined in less than a month ago and have entered the board and will be cycling out to get a $6000 in no time by Gods grace, imagine what you could do with this kind of money in Nigeria. investigate this info and you’d discover its not a scam but its for real. when you make up your mind you can join this winning team now!!!

    I happen to be a Chelsea fan too, but not a fanatic, this simply means that you can never see me ague about a match. Who will or not win.
    About the movie 300, I think it is a classic, I watch movies for what I am going to learn from them, in 300 I learnt courage, in blood diamond, I learnt determination. I therefore will say that I appreciate both. The truth still is that as much as both have special effects that make them great films, that of 300 is far greater, this happens to be the 2nd thing i CONSIDER in movies. You can never compare both movies to the series 24 by Fox Tv. This series is what is totally an all time classic, cos it will hold you down for a coplete 24 hr. period.
    About your wifes business, congratulate her on our behalf and tell her we support her desire to be a virtuos woman according to Proverbs 31. I know a woman who averages 400K a month from sales of Meat pie and stuff and she is specialising. so let your wife keep it up.
    Finaly, it will not be a bad idea to edit posts, forget the 10th amendment story thats in Usa, here rumors move faster, before you say that it was not you, they will be discussing you in the Eastern part of Nigeria. All in all, I just have to say every commentator on this blog should keep it up.

    Great to know you're a Chelsea buff. However, soccer is just a game and support for a club must not be allowed to become «fanatical» as this can lead to violence.

    I wore my white Chelsea away shirt to work on Thursday last week, a day after Chelsea lost to Liverpool in one of this season's EUFA Champion's League semi-final games. I did it for obvious reasons - don't throw out the baby with the bath water. Chelsea have come of age and they are a team to reckon with in Europe. After winning two premiership titles back to back, every team entered a game with them this season aiming to BEAT THE CHAMPIONS. Also, they suffered a setback sometime during the early part of the season when they lost their key defenders to injury and had to use make-shift defenders like Essien. It's therefore understandable that they could not win the title this season.

    I've learnt a lot since I bumped on this site yesterday while searching for Nigerian stock market related sites. I must say that it's rich and full of hot gist. As of now, I have barely scratched the surface of the most popular blog (NOSPECTO of course), but I'll be up to date on that in due course.

    Great job Dipo…
