But if you are jobless, why would you even be looking for a wife?!
Unless you actually looking for a woman to support you, sounds like misplaced priority!

See mumu ...where are they so called fantastic players now ?

And where are the players of the other countries at the same WC?
Of the Spain team we beat in the final, ONLY David de Gea really made the step up to become an established international.

The failure of youth international stars to progress all the way to full senior international stardom is actually much rarer than most Nigerians appear to think (or be aware of), perhaps because we in Nigeria have been more successful than most nations in transiting many of our youth internationals into Super Eagles players. Accordingly, of the 2007 U17 WC teams, England only had Danny Rose from that tournament, while the likes of Brazil and Argentina had ZERO making the step up to established senior international status. Corruption is a reality that has eaten deep into the fabric of Nigeria's national lives, but unfortunately it appears that Nigerians have become intellectually lazy and ascribe about everything and every failure to corruption. The problem with that is that it prevents proper introspection that would help us avoid future pitfalls.

It's even worse now because it's your agent that is making the dirty runs now. All naija age grade coach collect huge bribe, that's why they don't care if NFF doesn't pay them. Remember John Ogbuh under 17 which we hosted, the youngest in that team should be 35 years. Okoro (little Messi) then should be 40 years old then. The media did called them " Ogbuh and his men". Every where is corruption in Nigeria.

Beer parlor rumors...

Obviously, I am in no position to vouch for the ages of those players, but he so-called "Little Messi" Okoro's OLDER brother, Osas Okoro was the starter at RB for the home-based Super Eagles team at CHAN just this past year (2018) - that is, almost a decade after that U17 championship. Meanwhile, players like Ogenyi Onazi and Kenneth Omeruo on that U17 team are presently going STRONG for the Super Eagles!

Guess who was Tella's assistant coach to the 2007 world cup? MANU GARBA!!!!!!! The current u17 coach...no wonder they were playing rubbish in Tanzania.

Exactly! Explains why Manu Garba's team(s) won the U17 World Cup in 2013 and the U20 AFCON in 2015...

Hope you know those that have problems dont really have problems. But the one that has problems and never knew is the real one with real problems. Those are words that the older folks can relate with. If you have anyone in your family 60 and above show him this comment then come back to me. Okay?

Since you love "older folks" and old wives tales, heard the old folks' tale that what you don't know won't hurt you?
Anyway, I don't live by beer parlor proverbs, so please increase the "curse" so that I'll have more FANTASTIC days as today!

TheAngry1:
I believe the story 100% See the Alaba story, see the current Flying Eagles team, see how Adrian Akande was asked to dump England and then not even given a cap. I pray we never ever employ a home base coach for the Super Eagles again.

Have you ever seen Adrian Akande play?

Btw, I have not either, but do not presume that he's better than those playing just because he was born abroad. At the youngest levels, raw talent is arguably the single most important factor in football. Nigeria's problem is the failure to progressively develop talent from the youth ranks through to the senior levels, for at the more senior levels of the game many other factors (including football education) come into play.

mknigeriagreat:
You are right boy. The research i read might be false and a palm wine parlor news. That was why i also wrote that permit me to always drop just one per comment curse for you and let us see what becomes of your life in the next one month. Just give me that go ahead boy.

Dude, what happened to the "curses"? I had a FANTASTIC day!

truthsayer009:
Ah mogbe, even you? Why can't Nigerian women find good Men exactly. Maybe someone should make a post on this.

Because most of them are looking for Nigerian men...

DelphiOracle:
if e talk since wetin go happen? Will that one stop the d corruption

David Alaba himself actually 'talked' 6/7 years ago about the reason he ended up not trying out for the Eaglets (see the linked story I posted on the previous page), and it had NOTHING to do with bribery.

First of all you have NOT read the contract given to her, if only you know what kind of contracts are given to these artiste you won't quote me with things you do not know. Do your research, monetize my foot, these labels mean business so whatever you make they would take a huge portion. All that glitters is not gold! God forbid the artiste does not make the numbers, do you also think a label like that will give you creative control?

PS: Meanwhile, you still have have NOT established how this international deal puts her in any greater disadvantage than staying with local labels. Are local labels charitable organizations with no interest in making money? I mean, we have heard that Yahoo Boys are some of the biggest backers of Nigeria's music industry, but surely those dudes did not put themselves at so much risks just to dash money to local artistes?

And have you yourself seen the contract before you made your comment?

Why should labels make money off artistes? Is there any employer (or business partner) that does not seek to make money off employees (or the partnership)? Labels (like employers/partners) invest in artistes with the expectation of recouping their investments and making a bit of profit (heck, a handsome profit) on top? It's known as MUTUALITY OF INTERESTS! In effect, it's in both parties interests to be successful!

You have my FULL permission... <*rolling eyes*>

mknigeriagreat:
You really have a damn head. How else do you want me to share after narrating the research? I stumbled upon that research while on the internet and i've shared it many times. If you dont believe why not go ahead to search for it and read as well? Like i said i just hope you are not one of those scammers boy cos....... na curses now for those boys. I am done.

Just because something is “on the Internet” does NOT make it factual...
A lot of the beer-parlor rumors here on NL are also “on the Internet”, so just post the ALLEGED research let’s evaluate it.

dingbang:
thats the devil speaking to her. Every child deserves a complete family.

NO SIREE BOB!

What every child deserves is a LOVING family - or simply LOVE!
Having two abusive, neglectful, alcoholic, druggie, etc., parents is WORSE than a single loving parent or in fact no parent at all!

mknigeriagreat:
Which one is easier for you? Researching my claims online or coming here to display foolishness. I read it and shared it but a lazy youth like you just jump to dismiss it. I ask you which one do you prefer your fathet cursing you every morning or your fathet blessing you. And if you dont believe in my words can you give me the go ahead to be dropping some curses for you here on your comments every day? And i hope you are not one of these scammers because if you are, boy na die you dey o for this forum.

Never understand why some people need to resort to personal insults rather than substantive points (apart from a poor upbringing)...

I believe that I was quite clear that the SUBSTANTIVE POINT was a valid one, but if you actually profess the veracity of your “research” tale, it should not be terribly difficult to dig up the details and share it with the rest of us here on Nairaland. We will be here waiting! SMDH

LearnITsmash:
Marriage is not for everyone, especially ladies like Eva who has slept with over 100 men in her lifetime, and so it will be incredibly difficult for her to stay loyal to a man, adopt all you want nobody cares you exist

Another way to look at it is that she fully sown her wild oats and will now be faithful to a spouse...

Compare that with the 15-year-old whose marriage was published on NL recently, wishing her the very best of luck but reasonable certain she will likely be a completely DIFFERENT person by the time she hits her 20s/30s.

Let me tell you a story you can read it up. In a state in the US, two plots of land was acquired and same vegetables planted on each. About 50 people were employed and divided into two. 25 will go to plot A and be saying goof words to those vegetables and blessing it. 25 will go to plot B and be cursing it using abusive words. Under two months, about 95% of the vegetables went dry in plot B. They just did the research to prove that words are powerful and very effective irrespective of who is speaking those words.

Why i wrote these words is to tell you that from today, the moment you post anything that has to do with this scam, we will always collectively curse you on this forum and keep cursing you till your life becomes miserable and you cant afford even 100 naira airtime for data. Mark my words. Fellow nairalanders, let us start cursing all these nuisance.

FROM TODAY YOUR LIFE WILL NEVER MAKE MEANING AGAIN ON THIS PLANET. YOU WILL ALWAYS BEG TO EAT EVERYDAY

Old wives tale...
But the substantive point holds up.

Aunty Joke, I respectfully disagree...

A GOOD reason to publicize philanthropy is to PROMOTE the spirit of philanthropy among the general population (particularly among those who admire celebrities). Furthermore, while I would ordinarily agree that donors should not make their donations seemingly about themselves, it is better to help than not to - and if publicity (even self-publicly) is what motivates people to help, that’s a relatively small price to pay, and at the end of the day the donors’ personal motivation makes little or no difference to the recipient(s)!

Recently, my uncle was watching Femi Otedola donate US dollars for Christian Chukwu’s medical treatment (a football player that apparently brought a lot of pride and joy to his generation and Nigeria), and it virtually moved him to tears and rekindled his faith in humans and Nigeria!

Nat404:
Obviously, you misinterpreted that. What I mean here is if for instance you wrote a very good article, but had one or two misspelled words, these mistakes are usually ignored.

Ok, I get it.

Nat404:
Some of you would write or speak this kind of non standard English in an IELTS or TOEFL Test and expect to score high? You are joking.

Fit-for-purpose...
You don't dress the same way you dress to the beach to the job (unless of course your job is going to the beach ), and yet both are proper.

kalvoken:
And that wicked OP had to right it exactly as she did.

Later he will be expecting to make heaven

Hate to be that person...
But did you mean "write"?!
.

Nat404:
Oh, looking at it that way, you will understand is a keyboard error. Minor error in English is not marked. It's ignored.

Abegi, which school did you go to?
Ever heard of "cross your ts and dot your i's"? Standards are falling everyday.

jaxxy:
She knows it’s kinda like a yankee slang when u use flewed instead of flown. It’s like a hype

Those who are "woke" got it...

Nat404:
Hey everyone, any English which is non standard is wrong. In school, you are taught to speak and write standard English. I studied with native speakers and I know what I'm talking about. Some of these American English you read online is wrong like I wanna, I'm gonna and so on.

I can't ask my children to start using "flewed" instead of "flown" because some crazy artists used it otherwise I will put their education in jeopardy out there.

NO, that's incorrect...

Even the English themselves use colloquialisms. The funny thing is that many of today's "standard" English have non-standard origins. Language (like culture itself) is always EVOLVING!

jerryunit48:
I think she knows exactly what she wrote , the flewed is capital letters

So ironic how the joke FLEW over the grasp of those correcting her...

NEXT LEVEL...

...not the roads but the contracts!

tomdon:
Is road construction supposed to be under works and housing or transportation ministry?
Why's one usurping the functions of amaechi. Is minister of transportation in charge of only railway, cos the aviation minister is in charge of airline

Under Ministry of Works...
In our grandparents time, it used to be under PWD (Public Works Dept), which became the Ministry of Works.

KingTom:
David brought the body to the hospital?

David showed Police the text that was sent by the deceased?

I'm not a Policeman but I smell something here

THANK YOU BROS!
My thoughts exactly! Sounds all too convenient.

Corruption everywhere; that was how I was denied my chances of playing the final game that will result to screening of players going to Dubai (according to the coaches) simply bcoz I have no money; after emerging as one of the best players all through the local competition.
