If anyone has the time/is willing I would appreciate it if you could fill this survey. It should take 15 to 20 minutes and it's part of my friends' research project. Thanks

At doctor, the second part could make it exceed the time frame ooo because one needs to read and understand before responding.

Please house kindly participate. The survey is about Tuberculosis (TB) and doesn't require personal information more than ticking your age range

No requirement for Name, occupation, location, Job description, status nor tribe

All the best to the group of students.

What class sire?

Mancity, liverpool, tottenham,man united,chelsea , arsenal

Who are the top 4 teams here please?

Inside this teams how many can even manage to win the league, most times self chelsea man u and arsenal dont make the champions league

Remember tottenham was once in the level of others till few seasons ago


Are you kidding me? You mean Chelsea don't make Champions league MOST TIMES!? grin

Can you tell me how many times Chelsea missed out of the Champions league in the last 17 seasons and how many times they missed out of the top 4 in the EPL?

Answer is only once did Chelsea missed the Champions league in the last 17 seasons and only thrice didn't Chelsea missed the top 4 in the last 17 seasons. Facts.

You are joking, right?

Super Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong has given his reasons why he does not regret choosing to play for Nigeria over the Netherlands.

Troost-Ekong stated this following claims by former Dutch national team star Rafael van der Vaart, that the Super Eagles vice-captain could have played for the Netherlands if he had been patient.



Born to a Nigerian father and a Dutch mother, Troost-Ekong played for the Netherlands U-19 and U-20 teams.

However, Troost-Ekong switched his allegiance to Nigeria and made his debut on 13 June 2015, playing 90 minutes in an AFCON qualifier against Chad.

Speaking in an interview with Soccernet, Troost-Ekong said: “I’m satisfied, I’m really happy with the place I am right now.

“Of course, when you do look back it is always easy to advise someone what they should have done. But I think I made a lot of right decisions and I stand by my decisions that it was always a dream to play for Nigeria.

“The pride I get playing for Nigeria wearing the shirt, I wouldn’t want to trade that for anyone else. Who is to say that playing for the Netherlands is better than playing for Nigeria?

“I respect his opinion and his view because it’s also showing that I’m doing something well for people to be talking like that and especially a great player like Rafael van der Vaart.

“I’m very happy about my decision and wouldn’t change it for anything.”

On the issue of over reliance on players born and bred abroad over home-based players, Troost-Ekong said organisers of the NPFL must put in place a good structure, to give the home-grown players the opportunity to play for the national team.

“As a country, we have to consider all players with Nigerian roots. I’m grateful for that otherwise I won’t be playing for Nigeria if you only considered the home-based players. It’s also part of modern-day football,” he posited.

“I was born abroad but my father is Nigerian so I’m first-generation Nigerian born abroad. For many players like that, it is important to make sure when you choose the team for continuous development in the long-term, to pick the best players available.

“However, I strongly believe there has to be increased investment in the NPFL because you can’t force anyone to be selected but the home league needs to be consistent.

“I think it is good when we do see a home-based player come with us and they’re really part of the team. For the long-term, the best thing will be to have a great platform for players in Nigeria to show themselves there and hopefully get selected.

“We can’t disregard foreign-born players either, I think it will be a disadvantage for Nigeria. We have to look across the board and hopefully, there will be a good balance [that] will hopefully see Nigeria grow.”


And on the young players currently in the Eagles and what the future holds for the team, Troost-Ekong said: “We have so many young players, most of the players are under 24. Wilfred Ndidi is someone that is already doing so well and I think he’s going to be a big name, hopefully, a household name within Africa. Maybe he could win an African Player of the Year because he’s at such a stage now.

“Of course, we have [Samuel] Chukwueze, we have Victor Osimhen, Ola Aina is also a good young player. It is good to see them all coming and it puts pressure on us older players, everyone has to stay on top of their game.

“And for the coach, it is becoming easier to put together a good team because if there’s a player that’s not performing or is injured, we have so many options that entail our team shouldn’t get any weaker.”

We will soon enter the year 2020, when a lot of female tournaments are taken place. U17 and u20 world cup, womens afcon - yet NFF have not employed or close to employing any coaches for female national teams. At least by this time two years ago, they had released their fake “shortlist”. Na so dem go do am last minute and employ Nikyu and Danjuma again

Who is Odiah?

A lot of these Nigerian sports media groups need to fix their infographs. Common spelling and factual errors are ruining their credibility.

Secondly,

Wouldn’t their first team of the decade be from their first match of the year 2010? Perhaps I am interpreting decade incorrectly?

STEPHEN ODIAH in the picture below is being referred

They actually made a mistake of representing OLA AINA as ODIAH in the LAST SQUAD OF THE DECADE

Secondly,

You certainly interpreted the decade incorrectly by referencing the year 2010.

Decade means 10 years interval. ie from 2009 to 2019.

So it is the super eagles first game in 2009 and not in 2010

Modified: The date is even indicated on the screenshot as 11 FEB 2009 for the FIRST and 17 NOV 2019 for the LAST

This is for the boy that was asking for screening/trial opportunities and other interested persons.

This is the same academy that produced Chukwueze, K. Nwakali, Ipalibo and many others in the Portuguese second division where they have affiliate teams

were 2009 Taiwo, Odiah, Yobo and Shittu really prime? Because if they were, then, the current defense is certainly better.

The context is 2009.
