U-17 World Cup: Trophy Arrives Lagos by dove24u(m): 11:11am On Oct 09, 2009 |
Publicity campaigns for the successful hosting of the U-17 World Cup in Nigeria heightened in Lagos on Thursday with the public presentation of the FIFA U-17 World Cup trophy to the Lagos State governor at Alausa, Ikeja, by the Local Organising Committee (LOC) of Nigeria 2009. Speaking while receiving members of the LOC of the competition and Nigerian Football Supporters Club with the trophy at her Round House Office, Alausa, on behalf of Governor Babatunde Fashola (SAN), deputy governor, Princess Sarah Adebisi Sosan, urged all residents of Lagos to come out en-masse during the competition to watch all the matches. Princess Sosan said it was only through capacity attendance at the stadium that the people of Lagos could prove to the whole world that football was a game that was synonymous with the people of Lagos, assuring that the state government would ensure that the stands were fully filled during the competition. She emphasisedthat mobilisation of fans is very vital for the successful hosting of the championship. She also said she was very sure that Nigeria would be hosting to win the cadet World Cup, and assured FIFA that its decision to award the hosting rights to Nigeria was a right one. The deputy governor also charged members of the organised private sector not to sit on the fence as preparations heighten, but to buy into the competition by offering sponsorship towards a successful hosting. http://www.tribune.com.ng/09102009/news/sports5.html |

How come am not hearing anything about our under 17 preparation.Is that they are fully prepared for the championship?Well, i will try not to develop much interest in the golden eaglet so that they will not give me high blood pressure just like our fumbling flying eagle almost did. |

Re: U-17 World Cup: Trophy Arrives Lagos by sley4life(m): 2:35pm On Oct 09, 2009 |
Its like our country was created from deceit. I heard we lied to our colonial masters thats how we got independence. I can bet with my money none of the players are less than 24yrs old. Even if the trophy is in nigeria can we win it. I forecast we shall be disgraced in the tourney. Lets forget about sports and focus on electricity, good roads, education etc |
Re: U-17 World Cup: Trophy Arrives Lagos by larimo(m): 2:48pm On Oct 09, 2009 |

Re: U-17 World Cup: Trophy Arrives Lagos by alanbolo(m): 4:27pm On Oct 09, 2009 |
FBS:True, but we are still awaiting the result of the scan to be made public, while processing it, the PHCN took light and there is no fuel in the gen. |

Re: U-17 World Cup: Trophy Arrives Lagos by Nobody: 4:42pm On Oct 09, 2009 |
fifa better employ the services of an entire brigade of soldiers to guard it or else they'll wake up and find it has disappeared. |

dove24u: This woman is not serious. So she is campaigning for fans to come and buy high blood pressure with their hard earned money. The last failure of under 20 is enough prove to all Nigerian football lovers that we have no future on football as at the moment unless those who can enjoy watching other countries play. |

I hope the cup is not made of pure gold! It can be hijacked or kidnapped or whatever. I don't trust my people at all. Well, my dad is one of the players. He was selected because he knew one major-general and that major-general has strong connection with the president. My fear now is that, I dont know if my dad will be able to keep up the pace with these young lads in the field, because they are just under 17 full of energy. Oh! lest I forget, my heart felt sympathy goes out to those talented skillfull Nigerian soccer players who were ignored because of whom they are or their unknown status. That is why Nigeria, a country of over 150 million people could not produce a killer squad soccer team. No wonder our u20 team struggled against Tahiti of about 400,ooo people. |

My people, It is more than obvious that our country is corrupt, wicked, useless, etc. But I'd suggest we reduce the amount of time we spend thinking about the poor state of our nation and think about how we can contribute our quota into making sure that things turn around for the better. "If we angrily leave a dead man who died out of foolishness, then those living will definitely not enjoy being there except he is buried". We have the hosting rights and the players are our brothers, please bad mouth them small. LIVE & LET'S LIVE. Na so! |
Re: U-17 World Cup: Trophy Arrives Lagos by sley4life(m): 6:10am On Oct 10, 2009 |
If we dont scale to Semi final, all nigeria football team should be scrapped |
Re: U-17 World Cup: Trophy Arrives Lagos by asunaobi(m): 10:53am On Oct 10, 2009 |
I dont like these sentiments of some Nigerians who are still asleep. I want them to stop attacking well informed good loving Nigerians who are very vocal about the evils in their country. Take a look at the little positive developments in Nigeria today, who did them?, hard working Nigerians ofcourse. Can somebody please tell me what our so called leaders are doing in their offices year in year out. No security! No good roads! No electricity! No good drinking water! No good and consistent educational system. Everything in Nigeria is NPA ( No proper arrangement). I feel so sad deep in my heart. We are the most wicked and uncivilised people in the whole world. BLIND MEN CAN NEVER LEAD PEOPLE THAT CAN SEE, NEVER! |
Re: U-17 World Cup: Trophy Arrives Lagos by slimes(m): 9:05pm On Oct 10, 2009 |
I doubt it if we will perform better in this competition. As for hosting it, FIFA has doubt and Mexico has been considered as a befitting replacement. |
