Fabregas, The Boy Wonder



Fabregas, The Boy Wonder! You may think he is some kind of super hero..... well, actually in some ways, he is. As we all know, football (or soccer) is known as the sport of kings. This analogy may be unnecessary but it well suits the importance of this activity to people all over the world. With Kings, we also get knights, princes and jokers. But for now, I am here to talk about the ultimate prince, Francesc Fabregas.
Francesc Fabregas was born on the 4th May 1987, In Barcelona, Spain. He moved from the Spain giants team of Barcelona in the year 2003, to arsenal where is carrier took a great and fleeting start. At His Present club arsenal is where the young spaniard grew and addapted his game to a more mature and concentrated game rather than try to be flashy and full of dribbling as his mates do.
He was the youngest player in the premier leauge to score. This was accomplished at the early age of 16, which was his first of many other great achievments.

The young super star went on to win the under 17 world cup with spain and won the golden boot award, which portraied himas the best player of the competition and the highest goal scorer. Later on, after the departure of Patrick Veira, The Arsenal playmaker at the time, It was time for fabregas to shine on once more. During there champions league meeting with Viera's new club, Fabregas Showed his playing callibre by totally controling the game for his side; an incredible fete for someone of his age. He soon on carried this form against another Giant team of the footballing world, Real Madrid.


After that season, arsenals greatest player, Thiery Henry, left the club and everyone new it was tim for the young spaniard to shine; which he did. He went on to break several more records and gave more assists than any other player in the 2007/2008 season. He also broke the record against A.C milan; No British team had ever beaten them at home, Yet Fabregas undid that record with a fantastic goal from outside the box that effectively ended the long record. "It was the happiest day of my life, to be able to do something so fantastic when no one but your team and your fans think you could" said the wonder boy after the match against the giants.

He not only makes great achievements for his club, he also plays for his country, aiding in there Euro cup victory with 8 assists and 2 goals. He has become one of the regular starters for the Spanish side and has a lot more to show. Fabregas has showed his promise both for club and country, and doesnt seem to be slowing down.
Fabregas the prince of football still has many years to go, and we the loyal fans are hoping to see a lot from the "Heartbeat" Of Arsenal; For with out the fantastic fabregas to lead the team, there will be no victories, no honor, no football.

He is one of the greatest, and shall be remember along with the other greats such as Theiry Henry, Patrick Veira, Dennis Bergkamp, Robert Pires, Ashely Cole. As young as he he still is, he has more years ahead of him to show of more talent and magical performances as he has done in the past against ginats of football such as Real Madrid, Juventus, Barcelona, Villareal, Etc. And So On. For Now, He has been dubbed the "Heartbeat" Of arsenal, but for the young legend, he shall always be remembered as the Prince Of Arsenal.

The Great River Niger



The River Niger is the grandest and largest river in the whole of Western Africa. It starts from the south eastern highlands of Guinea and then runs through Mali, Niger, Benin and then finally ends in Nigeria. The River Niger is the third largest river in all of Africa, coming after the Nile River and The Congo River respectively.
In Nigeria, The River Niger is the main source of energy in the Country. It provides

hydroelectric power for Nigeria which is also conveyed to other neighboring Countries. When the river enters Nigeria, it gets joined with another Nigerian river called River Benue. There joining then brings about the creation a Confluence in the middle belt of Nigeria in a state called Kogi.
The two rivers, with the addition of the Confluence serve as a tourist attraction for the nation. Down along the river path, another water way is found which is called a Tributary; which is a place where water from a river enters the sea through many mouths.
The River Nigeria is of great importance to the country both as a renewable source of energy and as a major tourist attraction, and also a source of water for basic necessities such as gathering fish for food, fishing, e.t.c.
It is ine of the countries greatest assets in every way; as a tourist attraction, source of energy, means of food and other necessities.
The origin of the river's name remains unclear. What is clear is that "Niger" was an appellation applied in the Mediterranean world from at least the Classical era, when knowledge of the area by Europeans was slightly better than fable. A careful study of Classical writings on the interior of the Sahara begins with Ptolemy, who mentions two rivers in the desert: the "Gir" and farther south, the "Ni-Gir".It is often assumed, without evidence, that Niger derives from the Latin word for "black", niger, but it would have been more likely for the Portuguese explorers who first wrote this name on their maps to have used the Portuguese word, negro, as they did elsewhere in the world. In any case the Niger is not a blackwater river, which was the motivation for all other rivers that were called black.Some have rationalized that 'black' may have referred to the color of the people living on the river, but this did not happen to any other river in Africa. Therefore it would seem that the similarity between the name Niger and the Latin word niger is either coincidence, or that knowledge of Latin influenced the spelling of an indigenous name like ngher.

The Cat Reaper

Is it possible for man to determine when another human being is about to kick the bucket? Well if you disagree, here the here is the Deal, its a super cat that has spiritual powers. Its a cat that can has the ability to sense the presence of the grim reaper.
The cat named oscar has been observed and it has been noticed that the feline has the highly accurate ability to sense when a human is about to become late. Oscar usually cuddles up to the soon to be corpse and after four hours or so; the individual dies.
How does an ordianry house cat have such a gift? No one knows, but everybody is amazed by the feat performed by the ordinary cat.

Wealth

The word 'Wealth' comes in many forms and is used in different ways. Some might say that wealth is the amount of ones personal riches, others might say it is the amount of fortune presented to a person. I do agree that wealth very well means ones financial power, however, the most profuse of the two dwindling derivatives is kept within the wealth of well being.
If we trace wealth back to its roots, we see that it is a derivative from the word 'weal' which means 'well being'. this form of wealth tries to make it clear to individuals that wealth is not necessarily attained from money only. On the contrary, money may be able to solve a vast amount of problems such as transportation, housing, leisure and other personal types of fetish. Money does bring in comfort, fun, power and respect, but it is also said that money is the harbinger and root of all evil.
This claim is true on most levels as money can turn even the most innocent soul into a ravenous usurper. Where there is need, there will be money; where there money, there is evil.
But most people do not take a moment to think about things in life other than money. They believe that only money can solve their problems. They do not give stop and look around them to see how fortunate they are to be blessed with the things they are with. For instance, have you ever took some time to be grateful for the gift of sight? Many people have been blinded by money its vices that they have forgotten the simple things that make life worth living, such as the ability to walk,talk, too see objects and even smell the aroma of spices in food. They forget about the family and even the gift of a clean bill of health that is with them. Money isn't everything in the world, even though some beg to differ.
Money CAN buy happiness........ But the happiness is very limited, so if ya have the money, just splurge a little while its still there........

The Past Of My English.........

English has secured its stand as one of the worlds leading lingua franca and is still growing rapidly in untainted regions of the world. It is the basic language used to communicate and converse between fellow men from all over the world. It is the main language used in almost more than 60% of the world at present. The only languages that compete to it being Arabic, French, Japanese and Spanish.
I was born in nigeria and lived there for ome part of my childhood. But during my early days, my family and i were sent to South Africa due to my fathers job assingment. I had a very good establishment in my english language and had always to manage to get exceptional scores in the course. I stayed in South Africa for about 6 years before we were finally posted back to Nigeria. Upon arrival to Nigeria, I was enrolled into a private school were i gained further skills in english language and vocal studies.
After the succesful completion of my primary education, I was once again enrolled into another private school were we took a more andvanced form of the english we were originally learning. In addition, we were also infused with two additional form of english know as Oral
english; which dealt with how to anunciate common words and sentences, and the other bieng English literature; which brought our focus onto poems, novels and other forms of english literature.
During my tenure in High school, I grew the habit of constantly reading fictional novels and watching well-toned english series and movies with more refined english. I also got intothe habit of writing poems and literature for my self; non of which have been complete till date unfortunatley :)
Finally, I spent two semesters in The University of Nottingham, Malaysia were I undertook english english for another grueling yet educational year. The english taugght there was basically what i have encountered before but some additions were made such as the use and application of questionnaires and proper report writing. These where very fundamental for the engineering course i was undergoing at that time.
Other things that further influenced my grammer were things such as speeches and debates. I also enjoy learning new words that i can use in everyday grammer. The telelvision programs and movies I watch aided in the english.
