Ruffychuks:
Many have heard about this match. Some
think it’s an urban legend. Some think it’s
only a joke. But only few know the truth.
A long time ago, few months after the end
of the Nigeria-Biafra war, the Military
Governor of Lagos decided to stage an
exhibition match at the then glorious
National Stadium Lagos. He thought it
would be a special way of celebrating
Nigeria’s victory in the war, a way of
helping Lagosians to forget the sad bloody
years that had just passed. He wanted to
stage the match between Nigeria & Ghana
but was advised against it. His advisers
reminded him how Ghana trashed Nigeria
3-Nil at the 1960 Independence Match,
that another loss to Ghana might defeat
the purpose of the exhibition match. His
advisers suggested that they choose a
team that would be very easy to beat.
Brig Gen Mobolaji Johnson agreed.
Ethiopia was considered. Zimbabwe was
considered. India was considered. USA was
considered. And India was chosen. He &
his advisers believed that India would be a
walkover. But had he known what would
happen he might have chosen Brazil. Yes,
Brazil were the reigning world champions
at the time but… Oh, had he known.
India agreed to play the exhibition match
with Nigeria. In fact, they were overjoyed.
Nigeria was one of the best teams in
Africa. And they had never played with an
African team before. What more! They were
most overjoyed that Nigeria had agreed to
their three special conditions. What were
these conditions?
Well, on that fateful day, a bright Saturday
afternoon on August 15th, 1970, the
National Stadium Lagos was filled with
excited spectators. That was Condition No.
1, that the match be played on India’s
Independence Day. As the players of
Nigeria & India came into the pitch,
spectators screamed with more excitement
as they saw that all the twenty-two
players were barefooted. That was
Condition No. 2. (Remember that India
had withdrawn from the 1950 World Cup
because they weren’t allowed to play
barefooted.)
Priiii… Referee Mohamed Touati blew his
whistle to begin the game. (The Tunisian
referee had been suspended by FIFA earlier
that year but had accepted to officiate this
special match.) Indian forward Amer Al-
Amer made the first pass. And before
anyone could say “Bosnia-Herzegovina”,
one Majed Suleman fired the ball high into
the air towards the Nigerian post. The
gaint of a Nigerian keeper, Emmanuel
Okala, dived to the right while the ball
dropped into the left side of the net.
Gooooaaal!!! 3-0. That was Condition No.
3, that each goal scored by India would be
counted as 3points while each by Nigeria
would be 1 as usual. (Nigeria agreed
because they believed that India could
never score. Or at least couldn’t score
more than one goal.) Emmanuel was
looking confused. He was very sure he had
dived towards the ball. Every other person
thought he’d deliberately let the Indians
score just to spice up the game.
Meanwhile, India’s fan club was going wild
with jubilation.
Priii… The Nigerian forwards Sunday
Atuma & Thompson Usiyen passed. As
Thompson passed to Paul Hamilton, he
was surprised when he saw India’s Faisal
Al-Dakheel with the ball. Faisal quickly
shot the ball into the air towards Nigeria’s
post. Goooal! 6-0. Thompson was so
confused. He could have sworn it was Paul
his teammate he had passed to.
Priii… Sunday Atuma passed into the
Nigerian half. Alloysius Atuegbu passed to
Haruna Ilerika. Haruna made a long pass
into the Indian half to Samuel Okoye. He
was shocked when he saw the ball in the
legs of Abdullah Al-Shemmari. Haruna
wiped his eyes in disbelief. Too late!
Abdullah shot the ball into the air. Goal!
9-0. Three goals in barely six minutes?
Nigerian spectators were wondering what
was happening.
Priii… Goal! 12-0. Yusuf Al-Suwayed.
15-0. Amer Al-Amer. 18-0. Majed
Suleman’s second goal. 21-0. Abdulaziz
Al-Buloushi. 24-0. Majed’s hat-trick.
27-0. Faisal Al-Dakheel’s second goal.
30-0. Waleed Al-Mubarak. At the twentieth
minute, Nigeria’s Paul Hamilton ran with
the ball all the way to India’s box-18. But
as he raised his leg to shoot, he slipped &
fell. India’s defender Mahboub Jumaa
easily took the ball as Paul lay on the
ground moaning like a baby. That was the
nearest Nigeria had gotten to the Indian
post so far.
Twenty-five minutes later & eight goals
more, the score stood at 54-0. Some
spectators angrily left the stadium even
before the half-time whistle. Others waited
patiently, hoping that Nigeria would
revenge in the 2nd half.
“Boys, what the hell is happening out
there?!” Coach Jorge Penna was furious.
“You’re the damn captain, answer me!!” he
was shouting at Emmanuel Okala.
Emmanuel was speechless. He didn’t know
what to say.
“Co-co-coach…” Godwin Achebe began “I
think I know what’s happening sir”
The coach was glaring at him now.
“Those Indians dey use juju. They’re using
ma-magic.”
“Yes! Yes!” his teammates echoed &
nodded & murmured amongst themselves.
“Shut up you fools!! Magic my foot!!! There
is no magic in football!”

emusmith:
As I type this, I dedicate it to all those who are literally "enduring" their spouse. *tears in my eyes for them*

DISCLAIMER: I do not mean that men aren't also a pain in the neck, but for now I'm specializing on this angle! Don't start to misquote me, abeg!

Marriage is a forever agreement to love and enjoy one another and not to barely manage and endure one another.

It's appalling that is the case of some men. Why? They were blind to little
signs that I'll be listing now.

Some guys are in haste to get married this year, which is good, but WATCH OUT FOR THESE EARLY and TODAY SIGNS that if not heeded to may cost you your peace, joy, dream and above all, your destiny. If your destiny really matters to you at all, you need to read this...
It is the little foxes that eats up the vine....


What Are The Today Signs To Watch Out For To Avoid Regrets Of Tomorrow?

( Remember, some married men are wishing they're still single)


1. Her vocabulary is full of abusive statements.

Guys, don't be blindfolded by her grammar. See beyond that! A woman that will "abuse" the husband tomorrow starts today. You're with her and she "playfully" call her friends over the phone "olosho", "stewpid girl", "F- Word"- Relax, she'll use that on you one day when she's off guard. Unless, you're okay with that, No Problem!



2. Her friends are the "bad" type and she forms the "good" girl before you.


She tells you her friends smokes, drinks and are even lezb but she isn't! Iffa hear! She is or about to be! If her friends are that, she is part of them. Marry her today, tomorrow her friends whom she listens to will set her against you- in critical decisions. Be careful! Friends MAKE or MAR you, they don't leave you the same! Your bae isn't excluded!



3. She hasn't bought you anything "sensible" since dating her.

I don't believe all ladies are stingy. Some are cheerful givers! It is in them. If you are dating a girl who hasn't given anything "sensible" to you, it's not that you want the gift! No! It's that she's not the giving type which may affect her relationship with you and your family later. It's not in the size but in the willingness to doing it.
At least, she should not be selfish- thinking about only herself.



4. She is not enthusiastic about seeing your siblings or parents.


If you have a girl who hasn't bothered to see your siblings or parents, Bro, watch out! If a girl loves you, she would want to see your siblings (experience speaking)- It will be normal!
Ask her what she thinks about in-laws living with you guys...- To see her reaction in her eyes...



5. She has to end every argument.

Ladies talk, I know. But nor be every time you go dey end argument na...I have a colleague like that who flashes green light to me but argues like anything... I don't argue with her... I watch her argue with other colleagues. How can she not know how to guard her tongue even in the presence of one she is crushing on? hmmm



6. She doesn't believe that a woman must necessarily submit to the man.


This topic, feminist don't want to hear. But, I must say it. In the pecking order of authority, the man is above her, even though they're friends. ... He is the Man! If your girl doesn't like to hear this, but keeps saying, we are equal! Haba! Even lioness knows it needs a Lion! They walk side by side but he is on top. Even, you, lady, in your heart, wants him to be the Man o! If she believes otherwise, guy, tread softly!



7. Her mum is a pain in her dad's neck. (It varies)

It varies greatly but an Old Wise man once said, "If you live long enough, you would watch history repeat itself; girls grow up to become just like their mothers, vice versa..."

If her mum nags her dad, there is 75% chance that she will nag you when you marry her, while 85% chance she is currently nagging you right now in that relationship.
If her mum is OROBO, , and she is the first or so, the probability of her becoming like her is 90%.



I'm not a "basher" of ladies, as maligned... I speak the truth.

I stand to be corrected, mind you.

Most of my threads are coined from deep research and experiences from others, books, myself etc.

Enjoy your reading

Cheers.

holatin:
wao hope there are talking feature like



My husband and Sambo is a good people
2. The President was once a child and the
senators were once a children.
3. My fellow widows.(Is her husband dead?)
4. A good mother takes care of his children.

5. The people sitting before you were once a children.

6. Yes we are all happy for the effort, it is not easy
to carry second in an international competition like
thisone,
7. The bombers who born them? Wasn’t it not a woman?
They were once a children now a adult nowthey are
bombing women and children making somechildren a
widow.
8. My heart feels sorry for these children who
havebecome widows for loosing their parents for one
reasonor another.
9. We should have love for our
fellowNigeriansirrespective of their NATIONALITY

10. Thank God the Doctors and Nurses are
responding to treatment
11. I would rather kill myself instead
ofcommittingsuicide.

tonychristopher:


Pls point of correction ada is not a title but a position naturally bestowed by God

Nobody takes Ada as a title urs just the position firvthe first daughter ofvtge family

She functions as an aggregator and peace maker

But she can talk to their family

My both parents are dead and we the men all married from different Igbo states me from Delta others from imo and Enugu but my sister who married married from Anambra nobody forced her cos our parents where dead but she just knew the right thing
It depends

If the guy us good he should conscience and convince her parents

But never GI against your family because of a man .....love is not enough

I talk as a parent and I have a daughter so know my position

I will feel bad if my baby won't listen to me on matters like this .....Lord forbid that anyway

I wish her luck

eagleeye2:

Michky, why do you feel so strongly about this issue? Have you been in this situation before? If yes, what did you do right or wrong?
If you are Prissyluv, how will you handle this issue? Everyone is not emotionally strong to go against their family.
.
Marriage is not something to just dabble into because you are "so much in love", at least others have equally said it here.

subzidi:

I was partially in your shoes 4 years ago but difference being that my parents only voiced their opinion adjudged from preconceived prejudice about his tribe(Edo guy too). Trust me before I introduced him to my people I had the mind set that I was only respectfully informing them not really seeking their approval. Reasons being that I would be the one to live with the man and had made up of my mind that I'd rather live with my mistake than someone else's. If there is no Godly reason for objection to a choice of partner I think whatever reason is null and void. Today my hubby is the best son inlaw in the family! I'm not says parental opinion/blessing is not important but when it is being withdrawn under unfounded UnGodly reasons after trying your best to make them see reasons to accept your choiceplease run to God for blessings and carry on with marriage/life! Part of being an adult is the ability to make decisions and live with the consequences...
I'm sure you will not forgive yourself if you give up on this good man and marry someone else God forbid along the line things go sour...our parents will not be there forever and they have lived their own lives. MY OPINION
I wish you wisdom in your decision.

edwife:


My dear i won't lie,you are in a very difficult situation....but by the end of the day you will be the one to live with the man be it your parent's choice or yours.
It is going to drain you if you go against their wish,marriage is a family affair in this part of the world....Yes we still african and parent's consent is of great importance.
If in your heart,you love this man and ready to spend your life with him,the type that does not come home after a small misunderstanding or quarrel then try to convince your parents.What your dad feels is fear and nothing else,make him understand that it is your choice of spouse,that anything is afraid that will happen,won't happen.Give him example of people you know that has been married away from home,beg him if you have to.... but by the end of the day it is YOU that matters .

eagleeye2:

Please age is not reason enough to marry without parental consent. i have equally met good ladies who were way past there 30s and still married on their own terms.
My cousin sister is one. My very close and personal person is another. And they have their own kids now.
.
I have equally met or seen those who went into marriage with their supposed 'Mr Right' who can never do any wrong and later they confessed yo have made a error in judgment.

Babaji111:
All points are absolutely okay. Nice piece. But what I think should be encouraged is changing your partners bad habits, if you can. There is nothing wrong in it I guess.

The essence of being together is to know yourselves better by nurturing care, patience, tolerance, sharing your experiences and developing new ways for better livelihood.

Ninapha:


oh dear, she wd come around if u can be open. Dont do more than urself to pls someone. Just be urself, always listen to candid advice from her but be incharge sir.

Ninapha:


then i agree with the person that said its easier said than done.

U know what my mum said to me, my daughter, there is no other fomular to sucess in marriage except submission, perseverance, respect.

If a spouse has respect for u, changing or learning positive things from u becomes easy and reference point. Eg, i can say i learnt to keep very minimal number of friends such dat wd not distract my attention. I use to be into fashion but i learn to invest no matter how small from hubby.

Like hubby used to be very temperamental but learnt to be calm from me and he wd always use it as a reference point. Like my wife wd say' swallow those word' dat way u can keep calm.

If u are talkn abt nature, eg snoring, sleepn with open mouth. Lol etc yes u are right but if u are talkn about acquired habits eg. Drinking and smoking excessively, allowing him keep those friends that only bring problem into my marriage, no ma. I will pray untill they scatter.

I cd tell u alot but wait untill u are married, its a whole institution and u can never graduate. Best of luck.

U are a helpmate and u are there to help in every area but with respect and submission and dont forget ur knees.

Mprex:
Erm... One of my NL admirers (clevvermind) created a thread on things husbands should not do to their wives and i think i should produce a counter thread for that.

So these are the 8 things i feel ladies should desist from as married women

1: Dont think you are the Project: its true that he has to woo you, chase you, court you and all that but once you both are married. You become his helper. Dont ever have the mentality that he married you to pet and care for you. Its true he will do that but that is not the main reason for the marriage. You are not his life project rather you are to assist him achieve and attain his life project.

2- Dont Turn Him Against His People: dont turn the mother that bore him for nine months into a witch in his eyes pls. His relatives shouldnt become his enemies because you married him. Dont destroy the family relationship.

3- Dont Try To Change Him: You met him that way. You loved him that way. Why are you trying to change him now?. If you met him drinking alchohol, brace yourself to put up with it. Dont try to change him. You are not the HolySpirit.

4- Dont Be Too Familiar: dont be too familiar with your husband. Queen Vashti lost her crown to Esther because she was too familiar with her husband. Her husband sent for her and she refused to go. Dont get too familiar. Dont forget he is still your head. Still respect him.

5- Dont Stop Looking Good: this one is a major one. He met you looking sexy, fabolous and great. Dont stop looking that way. Even after having kids, hit the gym and still keep fit. Dont forget that he sees fresh babes every day as he goes out. Men are moved by what they see. Dont stop looking good.

6- Help Him On Bed: i wont talk much on this one but please dont make !sex! boring for him.

7- Dont Nag: pls dont nag biko. Instead of nagging, pray to God. God can change his heart, you cant change his heart.

8- Dont Try To Train Your Husband: you are expected to love your husband not to train him. If his mother that has been with him for the first part of his life cant change him on certain things, dont think that you can. Just help him.

otunbadan:
Hello,
First thing in business and the most important is the "ability to look out for a need and meet it", well that is what I heard my pastor say and I so belief it.
Having said this,a major need which we have in Nigeria is Food Security. Having just finished my BSc degree in mechanical engineering from a University in Nigeria, I just got the eye opener that "Food Business" is indeed serious business.
This awareness has moved me to start first of all, a poultry farm, because this is a section of my "Food Business" which I have the resources and expertise to commence immediately.
But from my studies online, I was able to discover that a large percentage of the frozen food we eat in Nigeria is gotten all the way from Brazil, China, Argentina and the United States of America. However, the Nigerian law actually prohibited this kind of trade.
After kin investigation about my Food business, starting with a poultry, I want to achieve and actually grow my now starting poultry farm to the extent of providing frozen and processed chicken to the Nigerian citizenry. Having done kin investigation about transportation and preservation techniques which this developed countries use to bring these products to us, I am deeply convinced that the distance of Enugu to Lagos, Enugu to Abuja, Enugu to Port-Harcourt or any other Nigerian city and metropolis is closer than the distance of Lagos to Brazil or United States of America or Argentina or China. The issue however is to make this trade between the parties involved conducive and profitable.
I could actually be in Enugu and other parts of Nigeria with relative closeness to raw materials required to raise the birds and go into large scale processing which I could sell in major cities and towns all over Nigeria frozen and processed.
Upon request I could make available my business plan to this effect. I am not talking about giving me a 100 million Naira, I am talking more about giving me "seed" financial backing to expand and increase my present productivity, which I would grow to achieve basic targets which will be set from time to time in the growth of the business.
Yours Sincerely,
OtunbaDan

But am so f'ing sure you are a scam artist. And guy, if you have so much, then it shouldn't hurt to burn 500,000 naira now. Send it to my account and i will know you are 4real honestly. I promise to come back here to confirm how real you are. Scouts honor. So, when are you sending the money? No time!

freetowns:

Jennifer89:

kevinalbright:
@michky you dont have a picture of urself, nor any form of appearance on other social platforms, yet you open ur mouth to call me a scam? For your info. There is life outside gambling. I can pay ur transport from any where in Nigeria to come see what I do is not a gamble, but full scale entertainment business.!!! Tell me has mtn given you 20m naira before.. lol. They gave our 1st artist more than that. Check my intagram maybe u can connect the dots

freetowns:

U know nothing my dear. Cos if u did, u wuld b spilling it out here knowing how itchy ur fingers could be.

Hello People..

I am urging you to consider partnering with me and investing in the music entertainment sector. The sector is so big, millions are made monthly. The best way to go about this is to invest in a music company with records to show their capabilities and what they have done in the past. This way, risk is almost not an option. A music company/record label with reputation in the muisc industry.

I have the sum of 5m capital ready to fund a business deal i have with this said major record label, but I need partners to invest an extra 5m as the deal requires a 10m investment.

I can easily send you a business plan and estimated R.O.I break down of how this 10m investment can bring returns of 30m naira in its first year and 50m upwards from its second year. This is based on income made from previous projects. . This said label want investors to come on board for a new project.

They promise a great contractual deal in terms of return on investment. Also bank statements on their last projects will be provided to show serious investors.

you can email me telemakevin@yahoo.com or call 08186009600 if interested. I will gladly give more details on this record label and send you documents to go through.

We have to meet at the label office to further talks with serious investors, i cant send company bank statements via email.

Note: I am not asking you to send me any money, I am only looking for possible serious partners. You will discuss with the Ceo at the company office to finalise and clearify talks on your investment.

Thanks. Have a great day.
