Examinations ? You mean a kind of Thread Quiz? hmmmm.... funny how you just said it as a joke but then you just may have given me an idea with a monetary reward attached to it.

I am just one person in this mighty thread but I think it could work. It may be a quiz, or kind of debate... or maybe both orrrrrr... well you know something informative and educating and all related to the beautiful game with Nigerian football the main focus. Hmmmm... with monetary attachment, I think it will be attractive. I can give out the winner's prize. But hey... this is just me talking. I stumbled thru my mentions and saw your comment and was like.... hmmmmm... what if...

That will be wonderful. I hope I don't miss it. I actually didn't mean my comment as a serious suggestion but now that u say it. . . . .

TheSuperNerd:
Wow....

Tenk you my "bloda" You and these your meme ehn, chai!

soetanoreoluwa:
Being in such situation before only had only nights to myself and I kept doing overnight reading... Lol took me like three night for me to caught up...

Just need to ask myself if there is an exam on nairaland soonest...
Congrats bro

Thanks my bro.

I guess we should start having examinations on this thread. Oya, TheSuperNerd over to you. This thread is educative enough to have exams na, abi? Lol

I did it! I swear I did it!! I read 50+ pages between yesterday and today and I didn't skip one word. Congratulations to me, lol.

But the previous page was damn hilarious. Icon4s come cause confusion. I laughed till I was quaking like a rickety lorry on a pothole-laden road. Una too much.

Now let me quietly return to ghost mode

DrKlever:
lol what's so special about the 94 kits that you so much love it and want a repeat?

Just brings back memories of the set of Eagles that played the best football. moreover the design is more adventurous and daring, much better than the all-green we've been wearing since then

DrKlever:
The designs won't be that which has been made already. Tomorrow, we can appraise or condemn what we see.

Well, let's wait and see. I'm strongly in favour of bringing back the '94 kit though

DrKlever:
Nothing to discuss till we see it tomorrow.

We should share our opinions on the design we prefer

Why aren't we discussing the eagles' world cup kit?

safarigirl:
Please, can we stop these silly 'what if' arguments? What if Mikel had gone to United instead of Chelsea? What if Iheanacho had gone to Porto instead of Man City? Man City ruined him blah blah blah....


People of God, do you know how many Nigerians have gone to Porto? What has become of them? The likes of Chidera Ezeh, have they become world class or anywhere close to Kelechi? Have they even nailed regular spots anywhere?

Let us stop all these useless arguments on what could have been but never was, and yes, goldfish80 this message is for you and all the other "he could have been" people

Me sef, I should have attended Unilag and should have been a graduate by now, but see where I dey.

There are no guarantees that another path could have been better, every single one of us on this thread must have made choices that perhaps did not go well, but does that mean the other option could have been better? No.


So, please, let us be factual, talk about the here and now, by the way, mocking any of these players makes you look like a petty hater, even if it is just to rile anyone up. Everyone has their own shortcomings in life, just because yours is not on display for us to drag you with does not mean it doesn't exist

Remember that, whenever you feel like being petty

Abeg, you dey drink beer? I wan buy u one crate for this. Reminds me of a certain Linking Park song, "weep not for roads untravelled"

safarigirl:
my brother, bless you for this.

I have been shouting Dessers here for eons, but these people only seem interested in that NEPA pole simply because he plays in that overrated league.

I am telling you, Dessers is gold and I am glad that sugarcane boy went to England because that means there will be space for the likes of Dessers. He's the real gem here.

Thank God there are people like u who see the light. I just pray Rohr turns his attention to this Dessers dude

Mujtahida:
They make them into tap in merchants from the production line these days. The days of Ronaldo de Lima is gone.

As for your other observations you are spot on. Mickael2 has opined too that we need a CF that combines both hold up play attributes and that of a poacher. The only difference is that he might not agree with you on Ighalo.

As for Dessers, you deserve a chilled drink of whatever brand you take with goat head pepper soup.

Lol, thanks. I was starting to think I was the only one who noticed Dessers

tbaba1234:
Tammy has very good movement, that is what puts him in dangerous positions.

I'm not taking anything away from his play, I'm just pointing out that his style of play does not suit us as much as Dessers does. where he's left with the only option of shooting from distance, he'll flounder, and trust me, Eagles strikers get put in such situations often. what about taking on 2-3 defenders head on, he isn't as good as Dessers there too. Put Tammy in a team like Spain's where a lot of creativity goes on, and he'll score till u beg him to stop. But in a team like Nigeria's, Dessers is the better option, I'm sorry

Thanks bro.

I don't know if I'm the only one who's excited that Tammy didn't join the Eagles. I never thought he'd be good for us. I watched all the goals he scored for Bristol and Swansea so far and I don't think he's so different from Iheanacho. Heck, Nacho can even threaten from outside the box but almost all of Tammy's goals were tap-ins. The only thing I know he does excellently well is hold-up play, but Ighalo already does that. Odion needs to only work on his accuracy and concentration.

Basically, the Eagles need a striker who combines attributes like hold-up play, threat from distance, ability to take on defenders, and accuracy as well.
Therefore, Ighalo remains the best we have for now.

As for alternatives, Tammy won't work for Nigeria, for we play a system where the striker has to do a lot of work and sometimes has to craft something out of nothing.
That is where Dessers comes in. I don't know why everyone seems blind to this guy's abilities; probably cos he is willing to play for us. You know we have a tradition of not valuing whoever wants us.

I watched Tammy's highlights and Dessers' the same day and that Belgian dude impressed me so much. He is more adventurous, can threaten from anywhere, with both feet, and can take on and bamboozle defenders. I urge u to watch his goals and highlights and compare with Tammy's. I think that if he's given the Eagles chance, he'll blow up in our faces.
I believe he and Ighalo deserve to be our strikers for the world cup.

Anyway, its just my opinion.

please can someone give me the full list of players invited for the Algeria and Argentina game?

robosky02:

pezeji:
the fifty and 76 na nigeria or foreign movies?

I haven't watched the fifty, but 76 is a Nollywood movie. But I must confess, the delivery was top notch

Hats off to him. He died in active Service

Mr Emir, is it by force to live as one? History has shown time and again that we are too diverse, too different to live together. We have different values and reasoning. That's why we find peaceful cohabitation as difficult as trying to Skype with Buhari
