And the Cavs need to improve their 3 point shooting.

A long ball that beat Hummels and Hector na Boateng wey dey the other side na him go appear to clear ball. Its like your stewpidity you carry it around with a bullion van. You no see better site to pick your ratings na goal.lol. Oponu

Randolph’s long clearance sailed over the half-way line and bounced between Mats Hummel and Jonas Hector with neither German defender dealing with the dropping ball.

Hummels himself admitted he was at fault for the goal. Central Defending 101. Never let the ball bounce in front of you without dealing with it

I think players like vidal would blossom under carlo

No epl central defender was ranked higher than BoaTANK
I agree to an extent. However I think the rating is a tad too high even if you include Chile's Copa America win

What would be your starting midfield under Carlo?

A team with Robert Huth at CB has been leading their league for almost a month, that tells you how useless the EPL is

I mean you meet a guy newly, maybe exchange numbers because you think he is smart, he calls and the next thing is 'can you come to my house'?? Like seriously? Honestly its becoming so boring and annoying nowadays.

What's it with guys nah? Cant you guys patiently woo a lady without adding the 'come to my house' talk? Its a big turn off for me, whats there to be done in your house that we cant do elsewhere?

Is there some solution to global hunger in your house? Orishirishi. It's so common nawadays that you wonder if guys have lost their minds on dating etiquettes. My new friend has turned this come to my house talk into a daily anthem ooo..no be small thing.

The thing is..80prcnt of the men who invite ladies to come to their house at first meeting have no good intentions at heart..and y'all need a slap to reset your brain on how to properly woo a lady. Lord save guys of dis generation

Am I d only one in dis?
Lool oju eje. I believe a certain rapport needs to be formed before a guy asks you to come over. Nothing wrong stating why you are not comfortable with coming over, a lot of dudes have abused that in the past tbh

Nonetheless you could still be diplomatic about it. Just cause he asks you to come over doesn't mean he is up to no good. It might be what he's used to

About wooing you do realize some girls are very skilled at wasting your time. They lead you on or act like they don't know what you are looking for and before you know it you don land for Friendzone. I usually use that come to my house line and gauge her response. If its too negative then I consider wooing her an absolute waste of time and resources.

I am considering becoming a FIFA Licensed Agent so I can chop inside this windfall

Bayern's manager list is a pantheon of who is who in the game. Shey you read what a 3 time CL winner said when he got contacted by the club, this is not Arsenal where their greatest manager in history has no European title in roughly 30 years of management. 8 CL titles between our last 4 managers including the incoming one should tell you about Bayern's size.

Family › Re: Nigerian Men And Their Foreign Wives. A Must Read. by A40(m): 2:38pm On Dec 24, 2015
Vivalavida99:
Saw this on a friends wall and i feel i should share.


Increasingly, and in greater numbers, Nigerian men are marrying non-Nigerian women. In droves, they are marrying Caribbean nationals,

White-Americans and African-Americans. They are marrying, not for the primarily purpose of acquiring “greencard,” but for other noble
reasons. They marry, not for the curiosity, but because they are bonded and are determined to make a success of the marriage institution;
they are bonded by love and faith and a commitment to one another to live their lives as one in a happy matrimony.

The more I notice this phenomenon, the more I wonder about some Nigerian men. I wonder. Culturally, Nigerian men are overbearing,
controlling, and paternalistic. They relate to their fathers and mothers differently. They believe it is “a man’s world” and so they have the tendency to relegate women to subservient roles.

True, things are changing. True globalization and modernity and westernization are impacting the Nigerian culture. In cities across Nigeria, these changes are noticeable; but over all, the effects of these changes are minimal.

A Nigerian may be well read, well educated and well traveled, in the end though, he will succumb to the weight and influence of the Nigerian culture.

We have a society where anthropological and sociological behaviors are still paramount. For instance, a great many Nigerians still practice
levirate and sororate marriage, and they also engage in polygyny, bridewealth, and matrilocal and patrilocal living arrangements. And in spite of westernization, Nigerians are still not comfortable with public display of affection, i.e. kissing and verbal declaration of love; and neither are they comfortable with open and public discussions of abortion, sex and exotic sex acts.

That Nigerians are not comfortable with such public declarations and have not completely embraced westernization is due, to a large extent, on the hold the traditional African culture has on the vast majority of the populace. At the core of every Nigerian, and indeed every African, is the thumbprint, the umbilical cord of their ancestors.

This non-public declaration and display of love and affection is not unique to Nigerians living in Nigeria. No! The vast majority of Nigerians
living in the United States are loath to engage in such practices, too. Furthermore, most Nigerians do not engage in endearing practices like candlelight dinners, flower giving, romantic walk by the lake or park, or even running the bath for their wives or lovers.

It would surprise most westerners to know that a typical Nigerian father or mother would rarely, if ever, utter affectionate or confidence-building words like “I love you…” to their children; yet, the children have no doubt that their parents love them. Children are the crowing glory of any respectable Nigerian family.

Haven digressed a bit, I return to the issue of Nigerian men and their foreign wives. I am stunned, perplexed, taken aback by the
transformation Nigerian men, married to non-Nigerian women, have gone through in the United States (and perhaps all over the Western world). My goodness, here are a group of macho men, fiercely independent, with a burgeoning sense of entitlement who thinks the world belongs to them; and that women are made to be at their beck-and-call. Here they are; they have suddenly or gradually gone soft and sensitive and romantic and wide-eyed. How did these groups of men become “oh baby, oh baby” kind of guys? How did they become “yes honey, yes sweetheart, yes darling” kind of fellas? What has happened to them? What got to their hearts and soul?

How were they able to adjust to living under a different set of rules and matrimonial conventions? How is it that a breed of men married to

their fellow countrywomen would behave in a given and predictable manner; but then adjust to a different matrimonial lifestyle when married to foreigners? When they are with the Nigerian women, these men are all about control and power and they expect their wives to cook and clean and raise babies and provide sex on demand; but with the foreign wives, their balls shrink! Such men live by schedule.

They have daily and weekly schedule of when to do the laundry and the dishes; of whose turn it is to empty the thrash; and of whose turn it is to sweep and mop the floor; and of when to eat out and cook at home.

These men — especially if married to White women — feel lucky and grateful and mightily blessed. These men meet and exceed all
matrimonial expectations; but would rubbish and dominate their Nigerian women. What is it about a White woman that makes the Nigerian
male lose his senses? Could it be because of their skin color and their supposed sensuality and submissive attitude in bed? Could it be because they engage in all kinds of mind-altering sexual acts that, understandably, the Nigerian woman would NOT engage in?

Or perhaps it has to do with the warped mentality of some Nigerian men who thinks everything white is good and desirable and so must be had!

Why are Nigerian men afraid to turn control over to their Nigerian wives? Why are they averse to showing their sensitive side? Why the need to control and dominate? Why are Nigerian men reluctant to take their wives on a romantic walk to the parks and beaches, buy roses and cards? Why the need to bottle up their romantic side? Why have they refused to do for their Nigerian wives what they would heartily do for non-Nigerian women? After all, Nigerian women, unlike their foreign counterparts usually do not demand to be co-captains of the house.

They usually do not demand for more than is earthly possible. And way more than their foreign counterparts they understand what it means to be a wife and a partner; they understand what it means to be part of the extended family.

When it comes to matters of life, love and death, Nigerian women have stood by their husbands. They are there during the passing of their in-laws; they give succor in times of crisis. These women understand what the African family is all about.

But not much can be said about non-Nigerian wives who may not even find it necessary to visit or attend marriage or burial ceremonies in their husbands’ ancestral homes.

For non-Nigerian wives, life begins and ends in American. For these women, marriage is not about marrying into another family; it is about
“us and us alone.” And in fact, they would rather you not bother them with stories about your extended families and the need for the monthly or quarterly remittances.

Yes, some of us can’t help with whom we fall in love; but to the extent that one can, I would rather a Nigerian. A Nigerian woman is not likely to throw you out of your home; she is not likely to call the cops on you based on flimsy reasons; she is not likely to drag you through the judicial system; she is not likely to throw the divorce papers at you at the slightest provocation; she is not likely to turn her backs at you in times of financial difficulties and other crises.

In order words: Nigerian women are likely to stay and be loving and generous and supportive for the long haul! Again and again and again, they have proven that of all God’s creations, they are the very best.

And indeed, they are!
Lol your friend is too salty. She knows Naija men are in very high demand and she is saltier than the Dead Sea. I wouldn't even start with the horribly laughable clichés. What stops her and other women from marrying other nationals? Na by force?

EfemenaXY:
Even for you, this analogy is one-sided.

The mere fact that they were married for 30 years should in itself portray something about that union. Where marriage is concerned, there is no one size fits all. You don't know whether it was the man's idea or a joint decision that the wife should be at home to look after the kids while he goes out to get the bacon.

There is nothing unusual about that sort of arrangement - an arrangement which has worked well for many couples. Do not underestimate the contribution of a stay-at-home mum or parent. Not everyone is built or even wants to be a high-flying career go-getter. Many couples choose this option because they want well-balanced kids. Kids who'll come home from school to a clean house, hot meals, etc. Or for the younger ones, having a parent waiting for them at the school gates after school to take them home, as opposed to a nanny / househelp. No woman or parent should be berated for making their kids priority over everything else / work.
Life is not that simple anymore. The idea of a partner sitting at home raising the kids is arcane and outdated. A man that does not empower his wife and chooses that approach is simply setting himself up for wahala later on. She has to be engaged no matter how small. Otherwise you will resent her and she will end up resenting you too.


You don't have to be a high flying go getter but when as a woman you need to meet your husband all the time just to buy tampons he would start to see you as a nuisance eventually.


Kids are quite smart these days, with proper spacing you would be suprised to see them literally raise themselves especially girls. The idea of a stay at home partner all through the marriage just isn't it.

EfemenaXY:
Human beings will always want more and will always want to experience the "other" aspect of life which is different to what they currently have / live. And that's no different to what happened in this example you've given. Now let's be realistic. Death / ill-health is no respector of gender. Just as you say anything could have happened to the man, anything could likewise have happened to his wife too. She too could have met her demise early on in life or struck down by ill health. Secondly, prior to the man's business crumbling (due to the economic crises you mention), would he have attained that height without the woman's input - or better still, are you saying the woman looking after the homefront had no contribution to his success?
This is true but its one thing to taste and its another to completely abandon the wife and settle with someone else. Of course some men are insatiable but for a man to wake up and take that decision e get wetin he go don see. Now look at it this way since her ‘input’ is no longer yielding success he has decided to seek someone else whose ‘input’ is now yielding success for him. Let the woman do likewise

I would love to hear from Nigerian women who are dating foreigners

I used to know one girl on NL who had a white BF.

She said while they were dating she was the one working and the guy was just chilling at home and they split her income which she didnt like from the beginning

Where the relationship went South was when her younger sister finished school and came to live with her, The white BF was pissed that her younger sister was taking up their space and money

She said after that experience she can never date a non Nigerian again because there are some thing and benefits you get away with a Nigerian that you don't with a white guy

Eruditor:
1. Sammer said Pep told them he was leaving then they announced a replacement. They didn't surprise him with the announcement.
Bayern is a classy outfit we would not pursue Carlo if we did not know Pep was likely not going to extend. However he was never going to hold us to ransom we assured that by insisting on a decision before Christmas. This isn't Barca where he would wait till May. Bayern no get time for that Telemundo

Eruditor:
2. I didnt say he flopped at ATM. I said he didn't set the team on fire. Griezmann did and is still doing.

b. Comparing Mandzu to Gallas and Balo is a compliment to him. It means he has talent but bad attitude. Mandzukic's best goal scoring season is still under Pep, you do realize that?
20 goals in 43 games is a decent return for a defensive team like Atleti. Even Griezmann is not scoring that much this year. Atleti has not scored 25 goals this season and the league is almost at midway point

I am not ignorant of that that is why i said his exit was not performance based.

Eruditor:
c. Asking why he had "no issues" with Jupp is like me asking why Simeone let him go even after "not flopping".
The same Simeone signed Torres and we all know he is finished. So?

20 goals in 43 appearances for a new club is your definition of a flop?

Eruditor:
3. CFC were underwhelming that season. Any other thing is argumentative (I will put a period here)
Bayern were underwhelming as well. Did you know we lost 5-2 to Dortmund the week before the Final? If they could beat Barca the defending champions then only a mascot would claim they stood no chance vs a team with Ivica Olic as its first option off the bench

Eruditor:
4. Yes, Bayern had never lost to RM ahome but Carlo had never lost to Bayern in his history too. So when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, something will give. The way to spin these conspiratory statistics can go in many directions grin
I can see you are really going the extra mile to defend Pep's incompetencies. Losses with a team who finished bottom in a group comprising Lens and Deportivo or with one parading Van Buyten and Ismael as central defenders is your excuse for Pep losing with a CL winning squad that added Mario Goetze, Thiago and in less than two months went on to form the spine of a WC Winner. I just dey observe like Van Gaal

Eruditor:
5. Dortmund lost 3-0 first leg. That's what I meant and that's why I went on to say winning one of the legs is consolatory if you get knocked out. It is like AFC saying they beat your team 2-0 at Munchen and that the aggregate was only 3-3.
And they would be right. No Bayern fan in their right minds would not acknowledge the fact that we lost the 2nd leg. Whoever advanced is immaterial but Dortmund didn't lose 3-0 they lost 3-2.
