DAN ANYIAM- Nigeria’s first indigenous coach

Dan Anyiam was the vice-captain of the team. He played in the left half-back position.

With just 10 caps, Anyiam was more prominent as a coach than as a player. He was captain for 11 years, spanning from 1949, when he led Nigeria against hosts Sierra Leone, to 1960, when he played his last against Ghana.

He represented Nigeria on 10 occasions and scored once. The memorable goal was in the October 30, 1954, Jalco Cup encounter against the then Gold Coast (now Ghana).

@Op... What is your take on this? Which party do you think will win?

justwise: [/b]

What questioning? Were you born yesterday? An agent walked into a school or WAEC and get a transcript for you? Some difficult truth need to be told, there is no point trying to hold back so as to please some people.

u only got the clue to the bolden simply because she explained in detail.... Got to go.. I have technical meeting toattend now... Be a good Moderator....wink

opsynusy: abi,i shouldn't even have explained in details,i came back from camp and went thru my documents and saw the olevel transcript in full stamp of my sch,i was like so o level transcript exists,and he just told me to just add it to it...well sometimes it's good to be naive,too much knowledge kills sometimes

Justwise is doing a good job, but one thing I notice is he jumps into conclusion without doing some findings. That u are right most times doesnt mean u are all times.
Let me put it to u, that it is even possible the agent didnt do any transcript. Just a way to siphone money from u, realising ur naive nature to visa processing

My own grudges with justwise is implicating u for a scene he didnt do his findings... not until u explainedd

Thanks Juwoon and Best Najia...

justwise:

Don't be careless with your application, he can't get transcript from WAEC or schools without your consent, he can't just get it like that....

I still maintain my earlier comment that he forged it and submitted on your behalf.

Wish you the best outcome though.

There are possibilties that the agent forged the transcript and there is also possiblities that he didnt forge it... The last time ((6years) I went to collect my transcript from WAEC to be sent to a school in Finland, I was asked to pay money into the bank, bring the teller to WAEC office.. and Fill a form. I met some other people who came to do for their brother, sister or friends.

My point still remains, you should have done some questioning before ascertaining if the agent forged or not.

Habeeb521: wat r u saying Mr chux4liv r u saying u r not part of d some! , chai , u no wat tell ur agent to withdraw all ur or terminate ur application becus he forged a fakes stuff cus ur not part of the "some"fraud stars ba den I will believe u not part of d "game"

Habeeb or what is your name... Please when you want to buttress your points, read between the line before you quote me... Did I tell you I'm a travelling agent or seeking for Visa.. I only come to NL to read and share opnion with peeps and not argue to show prowess. If you dont comprehend my write-up, you can refer back to the starting point of the converse.

justwise:

You are just looking for excuses to justify fraudulent activities by some Nigerians.

Thank u for using that word "some" and not "all" , which makes me to redirect u to my earlier arguement, do ur findings before ascertaining ur result.

justwise: [/b]

That is undeniable to a large extent.

I stand to be exempted... The whites too are fraudstars, doing things in a cunny way to justify one selfish interest is fraud as far as am concerned...... Case closedd

justwise: [/b]

Did the op tell that the agent got it from WAEC on his behalf?

that is in-conclusive statement... what u need do is ask for detail... using that word (forge) indirectly depict we Nigerians as fraudstars

justwise:

So you allowed an agent to forge and submit fake result on your behalf?

Oga stop portraying what people do as forging... There is a transcript which WAEC send to sch if u need it... Go to Waec office and find out.

Huh will try that at Obalende or Falomo(Who knows Dangote fit employ me)

dblock: I am the one that created that article on Wikipedia.

I have confirmation of All but one of those shopping malls (being under construction or completed)...I can post all the images, if that is requested.

The ONLY one that I do not have the evidence of construction is @ Palms. The developers (Who are very credible) said work should have started by now, if it hasn't already started it will definitely start sometime this year or next year.
